Spud, is there a manufacturer name or code molded onto the plastic lens? Something like "Lucas"or "641" ?
With a code, you can easily Google that and quite often it will turn-up eBay items for different cars/models - that will give you some clues as to where to look.

Like this eBay seller;
and it looks like these were only ever fitted to the Reliants - nothing else......

I've never seen them fitted to anything else either. They look like cheaply made trailer units - probably chosen for both price and weight - these cars had to be below 800CWT for them to be used on a motorcycle license?
Being ambidextrous I'm surprised someone's not had the lenses remade?

Spud, Valhalla seems to be right, there is a lot of writing cast into the clear part of the lense near the reflector. I think I can make out the European "E" mark in there. |
