Progress on 411 and Side Indicators question
For those interested in following the restoration see Home - The Bristol 411.
We have engine running, welding nearly finished, woodwork ready to install and my target is to get her to the BOC concours at Greenwich on 21st August. I am looking at changing the side indicators from the boxy unattractive Lucas plastic XJS style ones to the more elegant teardrop ones seem on the earlier models and on the S6 I saw in the Bristol showroom last month. Can anyone tell me where I can source them from please... Last edited by Richard Leslie Phillips; 13-07-11 at 12:37 PM. |

Those 'teardrop' side running lights
I have a set of those, and they came with my replica kit for the Ferrari GTO. They are apparently quite rare. There is the name 'Altissimo' moulded in the lens. Quite elegant. I have no spares.

Side markers
Richard,
These side markers were used on Wolseleys also I believe as shown in this picture... http://www.landcrab.net/pictures/wolseley_18-85.jpg Paul 1971 411 S2 |

Tear Drop Lenses 411 Mk 2
The Lens You Speak Of Is Available Through "holden" Seems To Be New Old Stock. I Dont Think They Have The Bases . I Purchased A Spare Set For My 411 Mk 2 .
Why Change The Originality Of You Series 3 ? But If You Must I Con Probably Find A Set Of Second Hand Bases For You The Ones For The Replica Gto I Think Are Similar But Not The Same As The Ones On The Bristol Are A Lucas Product |

I understand your point but on the basis that the S6 models from the factory carry these, I thought it OK - I also think they look better than the boxy ones on it at present. Any help regarding sourcing them would be much appreciated.
