One of these days Austin Martin will invent their own tail-lights!

Eh? Where do you think the lights on the Vantage, DB9, DBS, Vanquish and DB11 come from?

I don't know, Skoda?

I've always liked the DB7 but that will annoy every time I see one now! They don't even fit properly hence the plastic filler trim between the light and bodywork. Bit of a bodge on such an expensive car.

Renault 5 GT Turbo/Renault 19 16v rear calipers are also found on Saxo VTR/VTS' and 106 GTIs

That is not in the least bit unusual. Rear brake calipers on some models of Peugeot 307 are the same as those used on Audi A8s, for example...

Maser GT:



Shares its rear lights with the Ford Mondeo:



Apparently. Although I am not convinced when you turn it upside down.

Similar when looked at upside down but definitely not the same unit - look at the depth of the horizontal red bar on both

They are, as well you know, bespoke parts.

Wing mirrors.

You beat me to it! But missed one!





There is another one too, but I cant remember it right now. Its a supercar I think.....

The Lotus has CX mirrors.

Wonderful Thread.

Car throttle did an article about this https://www.carthrottle.com/post/10-expensive-ride... I especially love number 4, the Hella 4169 lighting

There maybe more but they were the first that sprang to mind!

Renault Sport Spider:

[AW10]

Doesn't the Mk I Elise have the headlamps from a Renault 4?

And some McLaren F1s have the high mounted mirrors from a BMW Z1.

I think this is the supercar that AnimalMother meant

I can't be a****d to read the whole thread, though someone hinted at this early on, but I believe that the pre-WW2 Standard 8 uprights - slightly modified - are used on the current Caterham range.

Has to be the interior light used on BL\Rover and MG stuff.
Sure the MG6 still had one fitted with the austin logo!

And Mr Bean also drives a Mini. I wonder what wheels Blackadder would have?

[EuropaSman]

Jaguar X-Type door mirrors used on the Lotus Evora Series 1.

[sidewinder500]

the great italian parts bin, thanks to carello...



used originally for a few Alfas, but supercars too, Maserati Ghibli, Lambo Espada, various deTomasos for more than ten years






this one was used on the Alfa GT as well as on the ISO Grifo, like that

[EuropaSman]

Rover Metro door mirrors on the Lotus Europa S (and Europa SE, and all series of the Elise and Exige).

[wildcat45]

And the MGF/TF. I think also the VX200

The MGF is a massive collection of bits from other Austin-Rover cars.

[jaisharma]

Not sure if this has been mentioned but the Lancia Fulvia shared side indicator repeaters with Ferrari 250 GTO (and several other Ferraris/Maseratis from the period).

[Fastpedeller]

This interior light used in Fiesta mk1 right through to mk6 (maybe later) also used in glovebox and boot lights
