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.
