[Alpines] very late model Alpine bumpers

[Ross Hulse]

I recall my Series 2 purchased in 1964 with 700 miles on it had the lights
mounted on the bumper and when I bought my Series IV it had them mounted on
a bracket attached to the body under the top edge of the bumper.

In both cases they lit up the vertical portion of the trunk where the plate
was mounted.

Hi,
Judging by your description, your car is NOT part of this batch of the tail
end of Alpine Ser. V cars.

You have the most common number plate lamp setup, like all Series IV, all
Tigers, and all but the last roughly 2,500 Series V cars.

The original inquiry was about cars that have the number plate lamp actually
mounted on the chrome rear bumper, not on the rear lower valance below the
boot(trunk) lid.
