I remember a tiny Lancia Y10 I had years ago also had electric windows
like that. A rather nice "show-off" gadget. This thread is getting
rather anorackky, isn't it !

So what was the usual way to electrically control quarterlight windows?

Kevin,

I have tried to get info, and have come across the owners manual. It
doesn't say what the mechanical design is though.

Kevin, at the risk of sounding flippant, the "usual way to electrically control the quarterlight windows" on the Lancia was to press the ruddy electric switch ! However, to be a bit more helpful, I remember that there was a very small servo motor on each window, resembling a slightly more bulky set-up than the Leyland Sherpa manual versions found in Bristols. They worked well.

Here's a picture of the Lancia; hinged window at the front, motor halfway up at the rear.

I took your criticisms to heart and reworked the Brabazon, especially in proportions. I hope you will find it more Bristol than Pixar!

An improvement but I think it needs softening of the exaggeration of
the lines across the tops of the sides of the front and rear wheel
arches (I do not like the height of the curves into and away from the
front and rear pillars. Also I am still unsure of the heavily
scalloped wheel arches. At the rear I would prefer less hunched
curvature across the top of the boot lid. Indeed flatening it out
and sloping it down similar to a 410-411 would be better. You
should remove the rear oval appearance as a result in centre of rear
end. Otherwise the front should be a little more delicate and less
"in yer face".
