Mercedes C111 front indicator. Any idea where it was sourced

[_Sorted_]

Been asked to replicate the indicator below. Very difficult job as curves etc extend way beyond part itself so in some ways have to do whole wing. Therefore, treating PH sleuthing as first port of call for suggestions.





If it helps Mercedes seems to have cast a wide net for other C111 parts with them being from cars, lorries and even a moped. My thoughts were the lights are from roof of a lorry or coach, but have had no luck finding. They may be bespoke as closely follow wing, but my senses says generic. Could easily be wrong.

Re commercial vehicles, reminds me of that possibly apocryphal story of Colin Chapman sleeping with commercial motor parts catalogue by his bed as parts were cheaper to buy.

NB: Apologies for forgetting ? in title.

I'm thinking motorcycle fairing indicators (Like BMW RS100 or Goldwing)

But cant find one that mirrors that shape and screw settings (and tie's into late 60's)

Sorry

Well that's a teaser OP!

Does that mean you have one? Even if not, it suggests you have actually seen one!

A stunning car that I have never seen in real life, but I wish I had!

Anyway I hope you find the part you need.

I know you've probably thought of it, but doesn't Mercedes have quite a decent heritage section, might they be able to give some advice on its origins?
