Pete, your a swine. I wish I had bought your other mini from right up north and a wee bit more north when you advertised it if the paint work is that good.

I'm not sure to be honest, found em on ebay. I think they were used on lots of BMC cars in the 50's and 60's. They are meant as sidelights I think, as they came with twin filament bulbs.

Do they fit on earlier mini rubber backs?I'm not sure to be honest, found em on ebay. I think they were used on lots of BMC cars in the 50's and 60's. They are meant as sidelights I think, as they came with twin filament bulbs.

Yep! fitted perfectly, but you need the right bulb holder, which has the bulb set further back to allow for the flat lens.

Nah they're too common mate! would have to be MB's or Force split rims. Ideally rose petals or JA Pearce wheels but lets face it, that's never going to happen!
