mysterious LUCAS headlight lens !
Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2001 10:54 pm
Dear Lucas friends,
Some month ago I have ordered a LUCAS 507586 headlight lens from an MG spare
parts dealer in Germany.
I have described to him on phone in detail the design of the lens and he
promised me to have one of it in stock.
I was very happy about this information 
After receiving the lens I was asthonished because the lens had the same
design like LUCAS 507586, but not the same size !
The size in diameter is approx. 1.4mm larger than the size of the original
LUCAS 507586.
Instead of LUCAS 507586 I found the lettering LUCAS 551070 engraved on the
backside of the lens !
The design is similar to the LUCAS 507586 with small vertical LUCAS but only
the size is different.
Original lens you can see in TC s FOREVER on page 57.
Does somebody of the list know the original application of that headlight
lens LUCAS 551070 ?
Which cars have been equipped with LUCAS 551070 headlight lenses ?
If sombody is interested and looking for such a lens than I m ready to sell
it or exchange it to LUCAS 507586 or other interesting TC parts.
For example I m looking for a pair of LUCAS 1130 side lamps.
Cheers
