Do the front wings on the RP saloon have piping between the wing and the scuttle & flitch plate?

I don't think so, David. Looking at period photos it's not very obvious, but take this one; the piping round the rear wing is very clear, but there's no sign of anything similar at the base of the scuttle.

Based purely on the few "older" photos I have, I agree.

Thank you all! David Mawby also says that there isn't any wing piping at the front.
This is good, as we haven't fitted any...

I love those sunburst Art Deco gates, is that one of the 'homes fit for heroes'?
The car's quite nice too!

Well I guess that will be another down mark from the rivet police as regards my car, but whatever.

In the words of Mr Bennett ( Pride and Prejudice) : " I'm sure I'll get over it and probably far sooner than I ought "

The wing piping was there when I got the car 40 odd years ago. I just replaced like for like.
