Classic lucas rear lights

Im thinking my donor XJ40 rear lights may be too bulky and hard to make fit nicely to locost arches but i dont want the usual rectangular or round trailer lights.

Now assuming i dont need a reversing light, does anyone know where i might find some similar to these for a good price?







How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I think you would hit an IVA problem with corner radius around the reflector.

Triumph and MG specialists will also stock interesting stuff.

Autojumbles will be cheaper if you can get to one near you.
