They look like those fitted to a Sunbeam Alpine of the period, they were also fitted to Turner's!
   Not sure where to get them but if you contact Holden or S-V-C they might assist.

thsnks, that holden site is great, whats S-V-C...

If you look at period pictures of an alpine or tiger...they look the part. But as you have a hella p/n a good shop should be able to 100% accurately tell you what they fit or direect you to a replacement.

As others have said, they look very close to Series 4/5 Alpines or Tigers. If they are the same parts, they are available from Classic Sunbeam Ossing New York 1-800-24-sunbeam, www.classicsunbeam.com; or Sunbeam Specialties Los Gatos Cal 408 371-1642, www.rootes.com.

Have checked the UK owners site 'www.sumbeamtiger.co.uk' who have a spares section & can supply the Rear Red Lens £25, the rear Amber Lens £23 & re-chrome base £35.
   Telephone contact (44) 1207 581 025
   Hope this assists

Mark:
   
   I've been trying to dope that out since you first posted the pictures of the rear end design.
   
   My best guess was Rover P5.
   
   But that'd be a Lucas part.  Hella tells me it's a German or Swedish manufacturer.
   
   Volvo 122, maybe?

better pics.  we've determined not sunbeam based on the shape of the housing. here is it:
   

Classicus

Probably the best way to start is to send an e-mail plus your very clear pic as an attachment to Holden and asking them... [:)]

I asked a very knowledgeable friend of mine and he says: "They look like Carello from maybe Alfa 2000, Alfa 2600. Something Italian for sure."
   
   You might want to check with Re-Originals! They have a lot of difficult to find Italian parts. E-mail them photos, they are quite a good company!

I thought italian also, but they are hella.

my friends at ferrari chat have identified it as 1962 NSU fiat!!!

Peterw11

Actually, that may be correct.  I've never heard of the model, but I've heard of NSU and of course, Fiat, but never the two together.
   
   However, a quick search showed that it does, indeed, exist and was built in the correct time frame.  I couldn't find any clear pictures of the taillight, but the ones I did find look similar.
   
   Also, check out the Fiat 1100 sedan of the same year, or years.  It could be the same part, and I'm sure there's a lot more of them.
   
   Shouldn't be too hard to find. [;)]
