The 'E' Type Forum

Hi,
Can someone let me know what the correct finish for the headlamp scoops is? My car is a 1962 3.8 FHC.
I've seen early cars where they were painted to match the bodycolour, some appear to be painted silver, and some which look to have been plated.

Many thanks in advance,
I-Wen

Hi I-Wen, the early cars (1961) were body colour as you say. The rest of the Series 1 cars were painted in silver. You will find a debate as to the finish of the silver (ie Hammered or not) elsewhere on this forum.
