Hi Guys/Girls,
Could anyone please tell me if ALL bonnets are the same as I need one for my late Series2 1955/6 car.
Can I just buy any one or are there model changes?

grateful thanks

The split screen has a different one to the later models with curved screen, definitely.

And that is the shape they have, nearest the screen a "V".

And Bantam did say he had a 55/56 car - so short bonnet.

Mike, you are correct - my thoughts did not translate into the typing fingers!
