There’s two kinds of repeaters as you say, The Sparto one which is the same as the dash interior light - except orange and a Lucas type (Lucas I think) this is the same that’s used on London Taxis and Austin Maxis. I’ve an early S4SE that had the Lucas type, got them new from a Leyland dealer (in 1988), so looks like Ebay or Austin specialist. Sparco still available from everyone. As to which car had what, that’s the usual Lotus dilemma. Mine has a lot of S3 bits.
Yeah I checked…Amazing how you think you’ve seen them everywhere but when push comes to shove there’re not actually exactly the same. Also found these, and the same in the accessory shop on the way home.
Judging by recent results, it’s got to be 96.5%, so yet another A grade pass !! That ensures your entry into the Lotus uni, but what course will you study … ?
Back to the repeater.
I’m going to try to repair mine, and in the meantime have passed the Lucas part numbers to Susan, who is going to try to source some.
Stuart, my Sprint left the factory Oct 72 and was exported to S.Africa until brought it back in 2002, the ind.marker lens and dash light have never been changed.
I dont know what the difference between S4 lens and Sparto is does it say Sparto on it? my lens does not.
Whatever they are they were fitted on Sprints…and yes I know they have cracks in them …just goes to show they are original.
