Have seen a few if these on classic Minis of late - anyone else think they add a nice (even more) retro look to the car? http://www.minisport.com/mini-spare-parts/info_P700.html

They'd look great on a Morgan - would they be a straight swap?

It would be cheaper and more practical to put a pair of wire mesh stoneguards over the existing lights, like I've done. £11 including p+p.

They'd look great on a Morgan - would they be a straight swap? Can't guarantee it, but as they are 7" headlights and so is a trad four wheeler they ought to fit one of those. No idea what size units are fitted to a five speed three wheeler. Vintage twins have smaller lights than 7" and quite a few have modern 5.25" units - mine has. Fitted as the ones it came with weren't original, perhaps from the 50's and used very hard to get bulbs.

Current M3W's have standard 7" headlights, so these should be a straight swap. I think they really enhance the retro look and for the sake of £70 or so, I think I will give them a go. A few more pictures on this site... http://www.ratsport.com/PBSCProduct.asp?ItmID=9611413

Holden is one, but I'm pretty sure they are fairly widely available.

I found mine whilst trawling through ebay. Just put in 'headlight 7" stoneguards', mine were just under £11 incl. p&p, which didn't seem at all bad.
If I can find the url I'll post it here.
