Hi all, Maybe I missed a post. Did we decide which car the rectangular taillights come from?? I'm talking about the pre-72 rectangular taillights, not the 1980's style which appear longer. Lost a WIPAC (manufacturer) reversing lens last Sunday on a nice spirited drive and found a replacement at Speedy Spares (in UK). Don Lattimer #3m5759 V6

I don't think I ever heard where they came from. Even though my car is an 84 it still has the same tail lights as the early 3 liters, so I am definitely interested if anyone knows! Jeff #8052

Dave, They don't have an angled end, just flat. Take a look at mine on Jeff's Marcos Maniacs site under "registry": http://www.greyraven.tzo.com/MarcosManiacs/photogallery/Don%20MarcosRear .JPG 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!!

You can also see them pretty well on my car as well. http://www.greyraven.tzo.com/MarcosManiacs/photogallery/MarcosRear.JPG 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. Jeff #8052

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, Paul Dransfield 3 litre Volvo
