[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 112363, member: 38"] Hi John, I can send you pictures and dimensions on mine, and also my spare. But here is the history. My original had been repainted several times in its life. I have pictures of it in the 50's all one colour which was sort of a brownish red. I have repainted it - twice - don't ask! It was originally black (I think) and there are pictures of it with a black out headlight so likely the war years (and still quite new!) and it has no HRD side panels at all! so likely changed even by then. My spare was made I believe in the early 1970's and is painted maroon, BUT it only had gold stripes inboard from the top seams, which did not look right. I understand some did this, and many had them between the top paint and the stainless side panels, and some possibly had both. Cheers Robert He of little help [/QUOTE]
