[Fot] Early TR2 Rear Tail Lights Wanted

[Don Elliott]

The red lens for those early TR2s is the same one used on the MG-TD.  Try 
any MG supplier.  Also ask the US TRA.  http://www.triumphregister.com/

When The TR Register had difficulty during the restoration of TS2, the lens 
were available but the problem was that they couldn't find the rectangular 
chromed frame which surrounds the lens.  Ask the TR Register.  They may have 
had some extras made.

> Hello all... I'm after yet a pair of the tail lights for my early TR2.

> Here is what they look like:

> http://www.vtr.org/TR2/NewPhotos/tt2reflector.jpg
>
> 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

> Not to complicate matters, but as a comparison, here is the later TR2
