Super major restoration object

Post by Pedro »

Hello,

I, have a question about the color of my head lights on my new performance super major 1963.
There are so much pitcures on the web with white/grey headlights , but there are also bleu headlights too.
Can anybody tell me what color is original on a new performance super major.?? (my headlight stands near the frontcover, "Not inside the grill".)

Thanks

Pedro

I'don't sure but I think that fenders, rearlights, grill bars, seat, wheels and headlight are grey ( look like white).


Thanks

Think it must be bleu Pedro but I'm not sure. Most of them has the headlights in the grill.
Kind regards, Henk

Hi Pedro,

Outboard headlights on the NP Super Major were grey. The color white was never used on the Major Series headlights.

You have done a nice job Pedro,

I've been in the neighbourhood this week. Visit the Calvijncollege. Just around the corner for you I think. I recognise the building behind at the picture.

Maybe Pascal and I can pay you a visit some day and take a look at the Major.
Are you planning to join us at the club for some events and the road run?
Kind regards, Henk

Pedro,

Visit us at the museum on may 15. We will be around with the tractors to have some fun.
Maybe I know your friend by face, but not by name.

Pascal has some things to pick up at my place and he wants to visit some one at Hoogerheide. Seems a perfect day to visit you. We will be in contact before that.
Kind regards, Henk
