New will obviously cost you a LOT more though.

Wouldn't mind but he only wanted to use the car for racing down the strip so probably wouldn't even use the bloody lights  :angry:

Sounds like a timewaster.  What YOU wanna do is sell it to me ;)

Although tbh and joking aside, that is a really weak argument for passing on it - sounds more like he was a tyrekicker.

Cheers,
James

Know its a long shot, but AVR breakers near Newcastle Under Lyme have a car in with morette copies on it, the lenses are Cibie though.  The lights themselves are bugged - all the mountings are broken, but the lamps are just fine.  Probably get them for decent money too - they wanted £45 for the complete units but that was before I turned them down for being basically unusable for anything other than spares ;)

Have you considered other cars with the same lights?

For example the Lancia Delta!
