I recently purchased a 1960 TR3A. I was thinking about changing the
headlamps
to Lucas PL700 or P700's. As I want to keep the car pretty original, I am
wondering if and how Lucas PL700 or P700 headlamps are considered in
concours
judging within VTR or TRA rules?
Thanks

John,
I put forth your question to the TRA forum. This was one of the comments
put forth by John Warfield, TRA President and Concours Guru at both TRA &
VTR:
We used the F700 sealed beam from the onset (in various styles); PL's
while very nice, and available during sidescreen production, would have to be
considered an accessory, or more accurately, a 'period upgrade'. What saves
them from deduction in TRA, as opposed to say, a Le Mans style gas cap, is
that they are considered expendable items, like batteries or tyres.
VTR takes a similar approach and would not deduct for period style
headlamps of any brand.
Cheers,
Darrell
VTR Chief Judge
