vixen interior light

[kermit1300]

As with many interior lights the lense has broken probably due to removing the spare wheel and I would imagine now obsolete, so what period looking alternatives are you using?

[prideaux]

I can find you a complete light but will look when at home and see if i have a lens on its own may have to move some rocking horse poo to find one though

Andrew, if you can't find a lense, I think I have one in my glove box. Bought it several years ago.

I was using it in place of the correct M series lense, which, by the way, is the same one used on an MGB GT. (at least it is on my car)

Early M's used a mini interior light which is readily available from mini specialists, Geoff

Tep, which is the same one as an early MGB GT, as it turns out...

Here are 2 types of interior lights:

The first was in my s3 Vixen:


The second is in my Vixen s2


Not sure of source, but could be MGB or Rootes Group as Sunvisors are from a Hillman.

Matt, second one is a very good match for the one in my car...

These lamps were also fitted into early Taimars (1977) as additional rear roof mounted interior lamps, it matches a period that the cars also had hatch vents.

I very much doubt that Hillman sun visors were ever OE fitting on a TVR as far I understand visors matched the Ford material of the era.

Guys, just to repeat, I have one of the Griffith-type lenses, and I don't need it. Small crack/imperfection in the interior of the plastic, but the lense is solid and clear.

For a reasonable amount (say for 17, shipped), I'd part with it...
