Hello all... I'm after yet a pair of the tail lights for my early TR2.
Here is what they look like:

The lens "Lucas 471" and "Made in England" embossed in the glass.
Notice that is has a rectangular shape.
These were found on the early TR2s through TS1387. After this, they
changed to a round type lens.
I really hope I can find an original pair, not reproductions or lens
missing the "Lucas 471" lettering, etc.
Some may recall, I have an early, unmolested, unrestored TR2. It's my
goal to basically keep it as is, but make it safe to drive, halt
corrosion, and to keep it a good example of an original car, except for
period accessories.
Not to complicate matters, but as a comparison, here is the later TR2
lens assembly (that I do not need...)

It appears that the lens is a bit more common than the rest of the
assembly. While the lens was used on various cars of the period, the
bezel may have been unique to the TR2.

P.S. I still have not found an early TR2 jack.
