Interior light for my Herald 13/60 Estate

[Roverdrive]

Hello,

I am searching the interior light which brightens up the rear load area. Sorry for not knowing the proper name.

Anyone out there to sell me a complete one, lamp with base unit 

Or any hint where to head for?

THX

Funnily enough I came across one of them in a box of spares only the other day. I think it's complete but will have to dig it out this evening to check.

That‘s brilliant. Keep  me informed.

Thx

I have a base unit, but no lens / plastic cover, if that's any use.

Hello Colin,

would the fitting Lens be available from a regular supplier like Rimmer , Dolphin or anyone else?

kind regards

I dug the one I have out. It has one broken lug on the lens but it would probably not be noticeable. I'm also not 100% sure it's from the Herald we scrapped in 1991 as we also broke a 2000 estate at the same time. Here are some photos:

I bought one new and boxed from Mick Dolphin at the Stafford show many years ago, which I fitted to my 1200 estate - he might be worth a try again. I've no idea if the lens was ever used in any other Triumph but it's quite a distinctive lens, curved and with a clear magnifying section at the bottom. The spare baseplate I have is at the bottom.

Guess what? Canleys might have one, it's listed on their website.

Rimmers are also listing them as new.

Sorry for not replying to the topic since Thursday but I was distracted by a fire in my carport which affected not only my Courier `s front RH wing, but nearly destroyed

my Vitesse convertible. It is totally devastating as the convertible was the one of my Triumphs that was in a real proper condition. 

But now back to the rear interior roof lamp.

@Colin Lindsay: THX for the hint to the dealers. Will contact them asap.

have a good night

Oh Lord, that's bad news. I can't 'like' your post as it's not the sort of thing to like! I hope the Vitesse isn't beyond saving. Let us know how the cars are, and if there's anything we can do to help.

Colin, there's a "sad" button?

Hans, hope something is recoverable.

Hi Colin,

I appreciated your pointing me to the dealers, but to no avail.

Mick Dolphin didn't answer my mail, Canley and Rimmer sold their last item this year.

Hopefully I `ll be lucky in Stoneleigh next year.
