More pics, not very good quality but i grabbed them this morn. I think the repeaters on the rear clusters will probably have to be smoked as the orange light is very nearly red!!

Mite just wait until someone says something about them!!
The interior of the car is very dusty so no pics until its cleaned!! Lol

Is that a left exit exhaust?
Isnt that a C&U violation and an MoT failure? Certainly used to be.

Nope its a twin Exit exhaust out of both skirts and it passed its MOT last Sat with only a single silencer so No its not a failure.

Looks great mate! With regards to the lights, I know from my Dad's Amazons, before a certain date, don't ask me what exactly (early to mid 60's possibly?) they could or did have red lenses on the rear lights. His 1970 122 S had them fitted, but shouldn't have. So he swapped them for the correct ones, as technically it could've been an MOT failure and to be honest they didn't suit the car that well, as it was a red car! Yours do look great, but becareful about attracting the wrong attention!

The all red rear lights were used upto the end of 1964.
IMO they look sweat on a red amazon

Not a bad memory then, I thought it was around then, 1963 was the figure in my head, but I knew the man in the know about Amazons would be along!
It's funny, they looked pretty good when unlit, but when they were illuminated they didn't look right. I actually prefer the orange to break it up a little.
I didn't get any clears for my white 360, as I personally like the orange indicator to break it up a bit. However I did like the mock up on Nessy, that looked sweet.
It's all down to personal taste and what colours work with what, Adams certainly works!

The all red units do work very well on Adam's car. The great thing with a black car is most colours do go with it
