A friend in Guernsey has some interesting old vehicles. This one's a 1950
Rover 75 "Cyclops":

The 3rd headlamp was removed in later models. This one's completely original
and has never been repainted - he's even got the original wiper blades. It's
been in Guernsey all its working life. Sadly it had a mechanical problem and
we couldn't take it out of the garage so I was limited in what I could do.
Next time I go over we're going to take it out on location for some evening
shots by the sea.

He's also got some tractors. This is a headlamp from a 60s Ferguson:

Those were still the days when money was available for detail. I can't
imagine anyone bothering to make a headlamp with a little tractor on it
today...

There's more in the gallery if you're interested.
