Rapide Red Tail Lamps

[EdwardC]

All the Rapides I have ever seen in the flesh have the clear/opaque tail lamp covers. Found a photo online of this Belgium car with red lens covers - are they interchangeable with early DB9 units, or was the Rapide available with a choice?

I thought they were all the same part, Vantage, DB9, DBS and Rapide.
Though you would need someone smarter than me to confirm.

Maybe he had the condensation problem and got himself a set of red ones cheap secondhand following a red to clear modification?

Rapide, DB9, DBS, Vantage all the same fitment. There's red, clear with grey outer edge and clear with black outer edge. I've seen some units with what looks like a vent on the back of them, I presume these are later units and the vent is to stop the condensation issue.

To my eyes the red looks much nicer. I really don’t like the clear on the Rapide....

Yeah its the rare Mulliner Spec Works Limited Edition Lagonda Bespoke version.

I can help you - happy to swap for a GBP 2,500 fee.
