Hi guys,
just a few observations on the differences between front lamps. Original RHD cars (non GT5) had 2 colour lights for UK and Australian registration. Because there were so few in RHD they sourced the lights from the nearest thing (both in shape and sourced from nearby) which was the Austin/Morris 1100 - a very common UK and Australian car of the early 60's, which was also produced by Innocenzi in Italy, and which of course Detomaso ended up owning. So a genuine RHD has these lights, which have a chrome surround and horizontal screws (see attached a picture of #6585, a RHD GTS but with the morris lights - also a morris picture for comparison) As usual however, not all of the RHD cars had the same lights and the photos in the registries show a couple of different variations.
Larry's lights are great (my set were delivered to rural Australia at a good price) and appear the same as later model GTS/GT5. IMO they are much better than the morris lights, which are too big and pretty ugly. But if someone has a genuine RHD car they may find Larry's lights would not fit because there appears to be a slightly bigger cutout below the bumpers.
