I believe the rear lights on the Mac F1 were from a coach, Bova Futura.

Actually, they were correct, sort of.

They are from a 1988 to 1992 pre facelift Cavalier, specifically either the GSI2000 or Turbo models.

TVR Tuscan. Not the S, not the Mk2, the LED indicator pods in the window and the rest down around the exhausts smile
Always likes the pureness of the Mk1 design but like the Convertible lights even more.

That's what I thought too.

Wasn't it the Cerbera that had the Mk3 Fiesta tail lights behind the smoked lenses

Not sure if it's smoked or just a result of the b&w, but I love it.

Much preferred the earlier lights before Triumph consolidated all rears to look like the 2000. GT6 Mk1 here, for example:

I have the top pic too smile (spit' MKIV) but i must say, i do prefer the older lights on the GT6... i think they work with the roofline much better than the MK3? GT6 lights did... not so sure about them on a spitfire though. something just works with the GT6 design.

here's mine, in its usual pose... I also like the lights on the car next to it any guesses? biggrin

Nope. The Griff used upside down Cavalier units, like so:



MK3 Fiesta lights were used by early Cerberas and Chimaeras, with a lens cunningly covering them to disguise the humble origins. Like so on my old car:
