Peter Carrick's book.

Ha! Ha! Now to throw a spanner in the works. I have just dug out my copy of Peter Carrick's Book. The picture inside the front cover captioned 'Road test 1948 Series B Rapides waiting to be despatched (Ted Davis)' shows some Rapides fitted with eight inch headlamps and some fitted with the later smaller ones (6 1/2", or whatever we agree to call them) but lurking in the front row is a Rapide with an eight inch headlamp fitted with a flat glass but mildly-defused lens, albeit in the post war type rim.
