Good morning. I have an early (1934) Pearl and it is fitted with a fabric covered sun visor. Why would Herbert fit a more expensive glass and brass sunvisor to the Pearl and a fabric one to other models?
I think that it was a question of supply and what they bought in and strikes were not unknown in the supply chain.
In the words of a gentleman who worked at 'The Austin' "we fitted what came down the chute - you could never say that part 'x' was never fitted to model 'y'".
