Fog and reversing lamps

Post by simonjrwinter »

Whilst not particularly IVA friendly, these may make an appearance on my car at a later date as they look so “period”….

Can you not get a matching pair.?
I’m sure they used to exist.
It would far better than odd designs.

Probably repro, but S-V-C and Holdens have similar.

I still like the genuine article though.
Cheers, Clive.

Would I be correct that it is the L494 that is the ‘60’s design.
I think had a reversing lamp like that on my old Austin A90.
Just happens to be the most expensive!!

Strange that there is a rear fog lamp of that vintage. My recollection is that rear fog lamps only became acceptable in the early 1970s and compulsory in cars manufactured from 1980.

Clive you are undoubtably correct but it didn’t take much effort to take the old design of reversing light and just change the colour of the glass.
