Reply to "GROUP 4 TAIL LIGHTS"

Guys,

The subject of Group 4 tail lights has come up quite a bit in recent previous posts, they do seem to becoming more and more popular, while less and less are avilable. As always a supply and demand situation will dictate price to a great extent.

You have to admit Larry does all the leg work and a good job to find them, ship and restore them and naturally has a premium for doing that as a side business.

I divulge nothing new and that hasn't been said before when I say that with a little knowledge and if you are prepared to do that leg work yourself, plus have the skills for some minor restoration you can find them cheaper.

Both the 'Carello' and 'Altissomo' version lights were used on the Alfa Berlina 1750 of aroud 1969/70 and the Zagato. Search the Alfa sites and eBay European (particularly UK and Italy) sites for 'Berlina' 'Carello', Altissimo'. Many of the Alfa guys are unaware of the Pantera connection. You may also want to consider collecting incomplete sets/lenses over time to put together a good full set.

I got my first complete set of Carello's last December in a reasonable condition for $100 from AZ, simply by searching on www.myalfa.com. I have another set of Altissimo's from eBay UK at $180 (all in inc. shipping).

Just depends how much leg work you are willing to do and how much your time is worth. If its worth a lot and you aren't prepared to do restoration, go see Larry and pay up the money.

Good luck
Julian
