Subject: Re: Chrome on DB3ltr
Hi Simon,
Re the differences, I imagine that it was just as experiment, for some reason, to try production with one strip for a while. Anyway, all very interesting stuff (to me, at least, being more than a bit of a nerd about such things). If they are not interchangeable from side to side, such points to the usual DB experience (whether Aston or Lagonda). All these wonderful cars were hand made and you can often look from one side to the other and notice differences in body panel shape etc. - it all adds to both the charm and the difficulties in restoring them.
I'm very interested in all that you say about the varying profiles of the strips, being something of which I was quite unaware. I'm going down to the workshop tomorrow to visit my car and will look at these things with renewed fascination.
By the way, from what you say, it sounds as if you may have found the DB Lagonda for you, now, or have I misunderstood?
Regards,
Tim
