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.

Craig, P3 60 was 1600cc four pot, 75 a 2 litre 6.

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.
