Lucas Flamethrower Pencil Beams - Covers


gliding_serpent2

Recommended Posts

These were bought in 1967 by my dad for his Austin 1100.  There were later transferred to his 71 2002... and then to his new (now my) 73 Tii that he traded the 2002 for.  They are Lucas "pencil beam" flamethrowers, probably not worth much... would be willing to sell cheap as I am sure the colored lens makes them even less valuable...

 

Just kidding.  Anyway, can anyone confirm if they are 576's?  Car just went into storage and I totally forgot to measure them.  I was hoping to get covers but found surprisingly little, but figured that confirming the model would make my searches easier.

Those look pretty close to the set that I have and I'm pretty sure they're the 576's.

 

My dad gave me a set.  Something about coming off somebody else's boat. Different reflectors (forward of the bulb reflector) on each.  They were 6v and I had to get 12v bulbs (LLB323).  Got them installed.  Look pretty good other than they're not German :)

 

If anyone needs 6v bulbs, let me know.

 

If you do ever want to get rid of those, keep me in mind.  I dig the coloured glass.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
