These Ugh wheel caps could be seen on many a Contessa earlier so they are definately a local fitment.

actually two tone in this era was usually, only found on higher end cars, it was just after the war, and it took too much time and labour for two toning. and yes, in case of two toning,the complete body and bonnet should be one colour and the mudguards another.

Awini, now that i see it carefully i think you may be right about the Talbot guy being influenced by the paint on your car. Both have similar paint contours. Only your car has a stripe (patti) which would warrant a change in colour in the surfaces above and below the patti whereas the Talbot has none, so its very possible that the job was done keeping the Lagonda in perspective, especially since you say both cars are from the same city.

Hehe I aint comparing, just pointing it out. Imitation is the best form of flattery after all.
