I have found that these are correct Lucas Bi Flex 'long range' headlamps which were fitted to a number of different cars in the 1930s. |

Hi
I always think of Rileys as having the chrome rad like this:

So I wonder if the ones with that curvy front end were bodied by someone else. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

I think it was just an attempt to keep up with fashions of the time. Such changes are seldom pretty. |

Without looking up I would say Lancia. They had a model with horizontal rear lamps (which were the same as used on the Jensen Mk1 Interceptor). _________________ a car stops being fun when it becomes an investment |

You are referring to the Flavia, I think. Looks like it to me too. |

Oh yes, I would second that. That recessed door handle and the blocky wide wing look Sugga to me. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |
