Are these corect for a 1965 UK built vehicle ?
I haven't seen this shape before.

One of the indicator lenses has faded, I remember seeing on sale somewhere a 'paint' for re-colouring faded indicator lenses. I'm guessing I'll have to try Autobarn/Supercheap etc.

They don't look right to me, but if it a UK one maybe yes it is right for them:) Yes there is a paint hh has used it before to restore customers lights.

They look like the standard 'Lucas' units from a later S2A or S3 (but not the tail light).

I've seen the tail light before.
Somewhere on the net I found a breakdown of all the different lights used.
From memory there was Lucas, Wipac and Sparto.

Just found some info, looks like Sparto.

Yes, that was why I restricted it to the later S2a and not S3.

They look like the Sparto ones,very rare over here,best chance would be ex-UK Paddocks or John Craddock,or Pangolin, now that Kevin Baker has retired.

Stop tail look like Spartos,or possibly Wipac.

cheers

This is the last lens that I still have

Lucas L761 stop / tail / no plate, P/N 54576369 measures 78mm x 35mm with 55mm hole centres. - 15 off new.

These are all lens only & some may come with retaining screws & I may also hace new gaskets for some of them.

I would think only the first lens will suit your vehicle

These were the standard rear lamps in the late 1960s through to the end of SIIa production (courtesy of Alan W)

So vehicles in that era can get away with standard defender lamps for all but the Wipac stop tail lamps.
