Defect Notice for Roof Rack Lights

The centre light was standard fitment on all P3s, but they weren't called Cyclops.
Craig, P3 60 was 1600cc four pot, 75 a 2 litre 6.

Getting way off topic here.....again[biggrin]

Have a look at this.Rover P4 - Classic Car Review | Honest John

Ours was a P4,75,that was daily driver,we had another two that were in pieces,i am sure one was a 90.

Some had a centre light,maybe an option?

I am Mistaken but I thought they were an accessory option on the P3s? Usually fitted to the front bar not part of the body. A lot of cars from the 30's 40's had options of a centre driving light. The p4s were standard and part of the body work as a Cyclops. In the club circles the P4 is refered to as the Cyclops.. The guy I bought a couple of P4s had a P2 and P3s. His restored ones did have bar mounted lights, the resto did not have one on buyt may have been just missing.

Yeah the guy I got 2 P4s from had a P3 75 2 litre fully restored, but as said the P3 were not the ones referred to as the cyclops that was the first of the P4s. His did have a spot light on the front bar as did a lot of British cars from this era.
We have a P4 90 - 1957 2.6 litre
A P4 100 61 3 litre
A donor P4 61 had a 186 Holden in it
Plus 3 spare engines 1 x 3 litre and 2 2.6 litres.

P4s started 1949 with the cyclops.
Various versions evolved
60, 75, 80, 90, 95, 100, 105, 105R, 105S & 110 variants.
We have a complete 57 90, complete 61 100, and a 61 100 Donor car (disc brake front end for the 57).

The P4s were 49/64 - the cyclops being 49/52. Have the workshop manual for these.
The P3s were 48/49
The P2s were 37/48
The P1 were 33/38 (just missed out on one a while back).
Cheers
Craig
