Marcos Maniacs

Guys,
 
I also have those same taillights (see our web site). I got a spare used set
at the local Ancaster British sportscar fleamarket and show a few years ago.
I've seen them for sale each year since, though the set I saw this year was
in poor condition, with a crack in one of the lenses.  It appears that they
were used on a number of full production cars built around the late sixties.
I don't have the details of makes and models though Hillman does ring a
bell. I've been told that they are quite easy to come by in British scrap
yards.
 
Regards,

You can also see them pretty well on my car as well.

Don and I do indeed have the same ones.
The inside portion is for the brake/ running lights, the middle section (the
flat looking part) is actually just a reflector, and the end section is for
the turn signals.

Dave,

They don't have an angled end, just flat.  Take a look at mine on Jeff's
Marcos Maniacs site under "registry":

It's a pretty good pic.  Also Vic Foster's car has the same.  I can't
find a rear view picture of a Hillman Hunter on the whole web!!
