Yes, I know they're rare as hen's teeth, but I want one soooooo badly. I've managed to beg, borrow and been tempted to steal, all the rest of the
trim for a completely empty 3L V6 Coupe cockpit, and the light is the last thing on the list. HELP!!!

Thanks again. David. |

Hi Sylba. No luck so far. But the unit comes from the Vauxhall PA Cresta / Velox. Also, I'm told, it was used in a Bedford van but I don't know which
one. I saw quite few make-do's at the 50th at Sudeley and Prescott. All sorts of lights will fit in there. But the Vauxhall is the One! Good luck, and
well done on the 1600. David.

If someone still interested, can offer replicas copied from a original part and you can not see any difference.
PM me and I can send you a picture. Have 2 in my garage, but can produce more if someone is interested. CF Mantula |

Hi, the one you mean is a complete interior light unit, but with the help of Promotec we reproduced 5 years ago the plastic interior lamp cover including the
lense. Normally that is the part of these interior lights that is looking a bit nasty after years or is deformed from the heat of the lamp (often too many
watt). These lamps were originally out of a Bedford van, but no longer available since years.
The complete unit is to rebuild the only ever legal registered Marcos in Norway. This car burned down completely and because there is no way to get a registration for a Marcos in Norway the car will be rebuild. Engine is a 3 ltr. Volvo and it will surely quite sometime to get this Marcos back on the road. The other parts you mean are still for my Centaur and you surely did look at the Probe 15 in Prescott = the prototy for the Centaur. The idea is to take the Marcos seats for this car and they fit nearly perfect. That´s the story why I did want that light unit .... Did PM you. CF Mantula |
