This
is a beautiful and rare Lucas L494 reversing lamp, in new old stock
unused condition, but with some minor pimpling in the chrome, a very
common flaw with cast lamps such as this. The chrome shines beautifully
and the pimples are hard to spot unless one looks closely. Lamps like
these were commonly used on Austin-Healeys, Triumph TR2-3-4-5-250, MGA,
MGB, Magnette, MG TD and TF,
and so many other British cars. They were a factory option on Triumph
TR3s.
We have several NOS L494 lamps in this condition, all roughly equivalent to the one shown in the pictures, all brand new, all excellent but with some small pimples.
This is the rare early style 494, with a "waffle" pattern lens. It works as new.
We have new reproduction lamps as well, as well as a few used original lamps; some can be seen in Related Products below. Occasionally we have lamps with red lenses. Contact us if you would like more choices, as we always have more lamps than we have time to list.
