;)
(click on image to enlarge, click again to close)
Lucas L140 headlamps (8 inch diameter) were fitted to many British cars of the 1930's to the late 1940's and were introduced to MG part way through the J Type period of production when Rotax merged with Lucas. They were then fitted to many MMM models as well as on the early T Types. The quality of this reproduction lamp is superb, using highly skilled traditional British craftsmanship and are supplied complete to incorporate either frosted flat lenses for J Types, or the original U flute convex lens as fitted to P Types and later models.
These headlamps can also be supplied with stone guards which are again, of excellent craftsmanship to incorporate a rather attractive period hinge arrangement on the top of the rim.
Price £690 pair (please specify lens type when ordering) NO LONGER AVAILABLE
