Which was the last car to be designed with round headlights?
I know the classic shape Mini had them but that was designed in the Fifties and of course the various 7-type cars have round light but the basic design for that goes back to the Fifties too.
The Rootes Arrow range had round lights on some models but didn't they have rectangular lights on some others? mark 3 Cortinas had them too I think.

Possibly a BMW from the 90s or maybe even later.

Jaguar X300 introduced in 94, the X308 was then 97 and carried them over. I think the X350's light are just off round and presumably so are the X358's. Are the S-Types? They look like reflector might be even if the the front covers aren't.

Morgan Roadster first introduced in 2004?

Landrover 90, due to stop production in 2016 - however designed 67 years earlier?

Mk1 MX5 produced until 1998?

Very hard to date when some were first designed......easier to date when production first started...

Oh well, that's made me look pretty stupid. I didn't realise there were so many.

I'll tell you something- the bloke who started this is a pillock! I didn't give it anything like enough thought.

When you next go out, you won't be able to see anything but cars with round headlights.
