Austin Healey rally light pods

[hama61]

Hello All,

Who can help answering the following question: Who knows which type of rally light pods were used on the works Healey driven by Timo Makinen and Don Barrow who drove the Spa - Sofia - Liege rally of 1964. I have heard that Citroen pallas ds lamps will fit without modification as well.


Which ones could I use best ?

Just a guess, but they look like headlights from a frogeye Sprite. Probably not too easy to source unless you found someone with a damaged bonnet or even a GRP bonnet that someone was looking to replace.

Some of the prices being asked for parts are getting ridiculous.

But I suppose if people are prepared to buy them?

Not a great picture for the detail, but the tails of these lamps look short
