Subject: Rapide Bumpers
I thought I would continue this thread in a new place:
The holes to the top and bottom of the bumper, are of identical size, and both slightly flattened around the holes. So clearly original, but not used since the 1960's.
The last owner whose family had the car in storage, since 1970 confirmed that the lower fog lamps were removed during their ownership, and he has since mis-placed them amongst his mountain of parts and items he has hoarded. I might yet see them, along with the original car keys he also had mislaid.
If I am correct 108, had the same top holes on its original bumpers as well, so no doubt, a small cost extra item.
I wonder if the works, offered in fact two positions for fog lamps, although above the bumper bar, makes them practically useless. A abdge bar or similar would be useful there.. They really need to be lower to have any utlity in fog... Just an idea of course, and it does look very untidy, as 130 shows in period.
