This is the original Wilmot Breedon key.
The rear light blind, many brochures show a pull tassel that hangs. However, the 'Crusader'
literature boasts "..the rear light blind can be lowered or raised by the driver as desired".
It is possible that A C Gotrel assembled it as shown with a pull cord (that leads to a position near
the driver) to block out following headlights. Original door handles have been re-chromed.
Interior door hardware and original woodscrews have been replated in nickel since this picture was
taken. |
