I have a set of original Lucas fog lamps that came off of a 68 CS. They say england on the back. I know they are rare and I have a guy that wants to buy them from me, but I have no idea what they are worth. Does anybody have a clue what to ask for them. I got them from my uncle who bought the car new but sold it 30 years ago but still had them in a bucket of parts he gave me for my car, they need cleaned up but all in tact. I would appreciate any input.

Those are the early (rare) ones. If they clean up perfectly someone in dire need of the correct lights might pay well over $300 but I think on any given day on eBay you're looking at $250 or so.
IMHO, the value problem is that the later lights look exactly like the early ones except for the rubber grommet so most folks are happy using the later lights. In other words, the supply of the early lights is low but so is the demand.

This auction is for the correct early lights and early covers. What these sell for should give you a good idea of the value of yours.

The lights in that auction have short (stubby) mounting brackets. Are those correct for GTCSs? All the photos I have seen on this site have taller mounting brackets.
I'm sure this has been covered, but what gives? Did some GTCSs come with those short mounts?

Disregard that last message. I did a search of the site and found the answer to my question.
Got a story from up here.
Went to cruise night last year and a guy had a Black 68 GT/CS 390 that he has raced for years. He got the car a total restoration, new 1/4"s, fenders, ect, nice paint, weatherstripping the works.
He needed the Lucas Lights with the stems. He paid $1200 Canadian with no covers. I thought he was crazy but he loves his GT/CS. Who am I to judge.
People love to see these cars up here if they get the chance and they always value them off the grid, I mean high $$$$.:icon_ecst
