Rear Lights

[S6 ROR]

We were travelling south on M6 on Saturday and a Silver (Reg OPY 671G), what i thought was a vixen came howling past us, had roll cage in, and a few stickers on, so pressumably the owner either races or sprints etc. Sounded absolotuely glorious

The rear lights were the circular type, like were on the old cortinas. My wife thought it was an early Griffith from those lights. can anyone tell me what models those lights were put on, as i am sure that i have seen a early vixen with circular lights.
Just need to settle the argument

Used on Grantura 1800S (which changed it's name to Vixen S1 in 1967) and Griffith 400 (which changed to Tuscan V8 at the same time).

Edited to ask. How many exhaust pipes did it have?

fitted to griffith 400, Vixen S1, Grantura 1800S

and I suspect the car you saw a Vixen S2 with non std Mk1 rear lights.

I hear an echo...

P.S. Must have been an S2 with queer lights

It had twin exhaust pipes, and by the sound and speed that it was travelling at, must have had a V8 installed.
By the time i had tried to catch him,he was leaving the motorway at the next exit, so couldn`t get close enough to him.
Just wish i had spotted him a bit earlier in my mirror.

You know you want one to add to your fleet! Looks like you will have to go the pre 80's again this year!

In the you tube description it appears to be a 16V vauxhaul red top motor.
