Interesting to see the NEO has twin headlamps and the photos have single ones.

I'd always thought twin units were fitted...was this a State legislation thing? I seem to remember some States banning twin headlamps...or is it the bismuth working overtime again?? Very nice model by the way Graeme!

The Conquest model has twin lamps as well.

John, twin headlights were standard on 1957 Imperials.

They were not legal in all states so Imperials could be ordered with single headlights where required by law.

Thanks Dick for clearing that up. The single lights look odd somehow
