Hope you have better luck with the MOT man tomorrow than I did today.

For the first time in 31 tests I got an advisory with the pass. Gutted. (Stratos replica)

Interesting to see you appear to have the same rear light units as on my car - any idea of their origin?

I will have a look in the boot to see how they were fitted, but the car spent most of its life in/around Lucca before going to a private collection in Austria

ps we took it for MOT but it's too narrow for their pit and testing set up - So have to find another test centre !

I think they might be Alfa Giulietta SZ 1960-63  lights? A standard Carello substitute for the originals when the Italians wanted seperate orange flashers at the rear. They are attached to the body with a peg at the top and a single nut/bolt at the bottom so on my B21S, just one hole for the lower bolt had been drilled. The peg sits inside the original aperture.
I have a complete set in vgc for sale and also a pair of new unused Altissimo lenses for the lights.
There is a 'for sale' post about these lights on this forum. I never got round to ebay!
