Hi there Bill here from Fresno CA USA formerley from Beetley Near East Dereham. I am very interested in a couple of things:
a) Is the vehicle for sale or has it been sold?
b) would like to talk to you about the light modifications on this car.

Thanks

Bill

Do you want to sell the wings with the lights?

No Bill
They are part of the history of the car and like the engine abd gearbox will be stored
should some time in the future she is put back to a road car.
They are a nice touch some one in the UK tried to patent them as his own but evidence is
plain to see on a few cars which have similar wings.
I can't remember the guy but he did advertise in the MG mags his wings could take a Etype
glass i suspect. about £115 a wing.

Ok well I have a 1980 car that is very clean and I want to install e type lights in the wings. Did you have to re-locate the headlamos further back in the wing? Would you be willing to trace the hole in the wing to give me a template to work with? I have a good friend that lives near dereham that could pick the tracings up from you.

Hi Bill

Will have a look and measure for you, the lights are set back more sure, I did not make
them they were done in 1965/66.
Later tomorrow when I get back home will try taking some measurements
