These came with a bunch of stuff years ago and now I’m wondering what car they are for ? If I remember right the guy said they were crosley but not sure. Anyone out there know the make and era of these taillights and turnsignal obviously a British make.

Web search indicates the tail lights are Alfa and perhaps Nash Metropolitan too. Turn sigs could be Jag, or others. They may have been broadly used in Europe.

could the round one be off an old mg td or tf? the oval ones were used on alfas and metropolitans but not with those mounts as far as I can tell...

Round red housing looks more Austin Healey (3000) to me.

I thought that but they seem to be pressed out of the rear panel rather than a seperate mount. I had wondered about an MGA but drew a blank
