Re: Mysterious rear lights

(There's a factory photo in "Morris Minor: The Official Photo Album," by Jon Pressnell, that shows a Tourer destined for the USA with those lights installed.)

Re: Mysterious rear lights

Wow! Did you buy them? I do know what they are. Here goes .... Those are Lucas L488 rear lights (running + brake light) mounted on the pedestals that were used on Minors sent to North America between January and about June 1949.
