The great frontal clean up has begun on the '57, and I intend to swap out the current horns with item's that are more reserved and humble. As per the pictures, I have come across a curious mystery wire. It leaves the loom and then branches to feed the two fog lamps, but there is another wire that just appears in limbo. Does anyone have a notion? Thanks, Daniel   | ||

Daniel, the colours are not clear on my screen, but are they Horn feeds. There should be 2 horns on the car. mark | ||

Thanks Mark, I will test the wire this weekend, hopefully they are still in circuit and I can just disconnect the air horns :-) Hopefully any old 1950s English horn can be used - one of an old Rover would be good. Thanks Daniel | ||

Daniel Here are the standard fitted horns, they were High and Low note. On "Colonial Delivered" cars they were different, details are on the Australian technical website. Regards David  | ||

The actual horns and part numbers for your car, as delivered, will be on the Bentley Heritage site. You have to plug in your chassis number. | ||

The page to start searching for parts for a specific car (or, if you don't happen to have the VIN or Chassis number, model range) at the Bentley Heritage site is the Catalogue Page. Brian | ||

Thanks everyone - I've had a look at the heritage site and at Introcar - and was wondering if Lucas horns will do the job - they a easy to get here in NZ and look like they'll just strap on. These would save me $500 out of the restoration budget: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/vintage-parts/accessories/listing/3695192648?bof=XbWnrzfN  | ||

Thanks Mark, I might take the risk, I can always re-sell if they don't work out :-) |
