Question - non 7 - jpsmit - 05-09-2021

a dear friend is clearing his parent's house. His father is a serious car buff. In the house my friend has found a single P90s Lucas headlight. They seem to be worth something if ebay is anything to go by. Any suggestions of how to sell it? (He isn't finished searching - there might be a pair but he isn't sure)

Here is the light

That's a curious lamp, I don't think I've ever seen one like it before.

Is it some sort of conversion kit?

It's the US market version. The US market P100 lamps also had a sealed beam unit fitted in the same way. I understand that some states mandated sealed beam headlamp units on all cars.

That would make sense - we are pretty sure it (the other?) went on his Bentley - and yes, I suspect ebay might be the way.
