This Ruby which I rescued many years ago (and passed on to Anne's cousin, Lou!) was, I believe, a 1934 car, and has/had a lens with external vertical ribbing (ST 135?)
However, the 1936 Ruby that I owned around the same time had the very dark lens with a smooth exterior and stippled inner face like your P305 illustration.
Your ST 135A would appear to be a third variant with internal horizontal ribbing!

So, it might just be that the one on our Ruby with the very dark lens and a smooth, external surface might be a replacement - as supplied on later cars.

Good morning. I have checked my Lucas parts lists and it states: ST38A 'fitted with a slightly domed and fluted glass'.

Might the list mention the Type P305? This is the one we believe to be original to the car

Was it a wartime glass fitted to dim the rear light
My problem I ask questions that other people don't like?
Like have you got that for an investment or for fun?
