Nice one Tim! I don't remember seeing new ones in packaging (and the genuine article too) before.

The guys got a few other bits and bobs too, obviously he didnt realise what he had.

Thanks for the offer Matt

but I think they will look lovely on the TRZS!

You don't know how much I'd pay yet

Seriously though, I wouldn't sell them for any amount... You've done well.

What are the odds they have another pair?

Worth asking him mate!

Matt if you can get me a new Mk1 front bumper I will swop!

That was a bargain. Do you actually have a suitable BX to fit them onto Tim? Surely they're only for the 16v and limited turbo diesels?

It's quite strange someone is selling yellow ones in the Uk as they were never standard there.

Everything the guy's selling is priced to sell - I looked through his shop. There's some real bargains there.

Of course! If you ever see any on your continental travels Todd do let me know... I've been looking for a pair of those forever!

There's an unbroken Mk1 tailblazer in it for you (or anyone) who finds me a pair of these

Halfords used to sell a yellowish liquid for foglights etc , I did my old 16valver and it was also removable too , not sure if they still sell it but it might be worth a look .

My 19TZI and 16TRS both have these lamps, ok neither of them work but thats a minor detail.

As stated if someone finds me a mint Mk1 Bumper in the right colour then happy to swopsie.

I'll keep a look out - am heading over the Channel in a few weeks and should hopefully manage a bit of scrapyard browsing! You can keep your tailblazer though, it may look a tat out of place on an estate.

A pair sold on Ebay here in Germany last week for €50 - they were listed for the CX but they looked the same to me.

One of the minor tragedies of that 'barn of parts' business last year was that I got literally a dustbin liner full of these lights - mostly the standard white but several yellow ones too. The bag unfortunately had been left outside or in a damp area somewhere near the barn for the last ten years and the lights were in a really sorry state - I think two were just about useful.

There is a new Mk.1 bumper available 100kms from here and if Mat F is anywhere near here on his tour something could be arranged perhaps? What wife wouldn't want to share the camper van with such a thing?
