Emblems and rear lights
« on: Saturday,March 01, 2025, 07:16:42 AM »
Hello Friends:

I have two requests.  First I have a 73 Europa TCS and my front yellow and green emblem has been chipped by a stone.  Can these be repaired?  I would like to buy one if there's a decent one available.  I see LOTS of garbage imitations.

Second:  I have the rear glass section of a 73 TCS I purchased in a parts sale.  I'm planning on making wall art of the rear 10 inches or so.  I plan to cut the crummy deck lid and tail.  I need the L O T U S letters, SPECIAL emblem and tail lights.  I believe they are the same as a Jaguar, but I figured I'd ask here first.

I'm in Michigan in the US.

The rear lights are on some E Type Jaguars and Elan +2s.

The LOTUS letters and emblem are available from Banks/Lotus Supplies.

I don't believe the Jag version of the tail light has a built in reverse light.

As you say, most don't so Lucas went to the expense of making 3 types of light bodies and 3 types of lenses.

But this one seems to be an exception. Maybe it has the wrong lights fitted.

I have two S2 tailamps in very good conditioner that I would be willing to part with for a fair price.  Might be too good for artwork...?
