Amazing what a couple of old Isetta headlights can do, bolted on as an apparent afterthought, stylistically. Clearly I am odd one out here as I prefer integral design where the headlight would actually not protrude at all.

Isetta v Heinkel, British Schmitt v Continental Schmitt, Bug eyed USA Berk v British Berk, Frog eye Sprite v Lenham bonneted Sprite

Ho hum.

External bolt-on lights sometimes look awful, sometimes great, I much prefer the faired-in Heinkel-Trojan lights to the Isetta ones, and many other examples too, but to me they look great on the Bond. All down to personal taste!

So good he licked the headlamp bowl clean.

Perhaps it is because it breaks up the straight lines.

Should have held it near us, not much rain!

And not so many cars, sadly, unless in your shed!

Well, suprisingly, our old Pyrenees rallies turned out pretty well!
