Marchal tail lights Mk 1

Fiat 850 & Simca 1000 uses the same, but way less expensive as there's no GT40 tag on the advertising.
They came from several manufactorers like Hella & Marchal with their own details.
 
Doing a few browsing on "the bay " you can find those for few pounds too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those parts where used on GT40 and also Stratos so sellers knowing this advertise NOS parts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and get alot of profit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please correct me but it appears the Marchal has a different base and is actually canted where the Fiat appears to be flat.

Simca are angled Fiat are flat. Simca is what you want ;) Fiat if the hard to find Simca are not available. There are 2 types of Simca lights. Early chromed metal bases items and later chromed plastic bases.

One builder I am aware of used the fiat items (those $50 items linked above) and custom 3d printed bases to give the same angle as the Simca lights (good idea as the Fiat lights appear to be getting reproduced unlike the Simca bases, there are some repro lenses that can be found)

Nice, I bought an adverticed SEV set of tail lights from the US at $300 the pair plus shipping and 30% import taxes. Opened the box and found a pair of Fiat ones which I have drawer full of already of from different sellers using SEV photos and shipping unwanted Fiat ones ;) happy days

I’m still looking for two sets for two of my Mk1s, if anyone has some SEV lights kicking about ;)

Kind Regards
