Default 250 OEM repro Marchal fog lights

Marchal 660's as per original - even though there is no mention of teh F word they still seem to be suffering from F tax - £250 per pair.

Mine came with the cat face logo embossed in gold on the lenses themselves. I guess they are a different model but for £60 off EBay I can't complain

Very nice apart from the price,
I'm going to use a pair that are listed for the modern Mini but in stainless steel. I will be trying to use stainless steel or chromed plastic for all my brightwork. Proper chrome just doesn't seem to last nowadays.
I picked up 3pairs of lights, all the same but with clear, amber and red lenses and a chrome plastic bezel for £16 off Ebay last year. Headlight buckets are £26 the pair and some repo P700 headlights are £49.
Got some tapered headlight rings for £8.60 each (morris minor) but couldn't find any stainless ones.

Mucho cheapness

Barber's variation of Tribute's Law: the cost of a new reproduction is inversely proportionally to the condition of the original alternative.
