Rory,
Kelvin is right that can be done and I thought about that too when I replied
to you, but figure it was still stock. But that is worth a try. The base
that Kelvin gave you the number for is a Ba9s, you should be able to dig one
up locally.
Best regards,

Ok, I bit. I checked stock. The 170-300 is equivalent to a Lucas
LLB207, which is a pretty big 5W light bulb. This is correct for the
licence plate lamp assembly that bolts to the rear over-rider as used on the
63-69 MGB.
If your bulb holder is smaller, it's possible that someone
substituted an map light socket or entire assembly from a 63-67 MGB. It is
a similar looking assembly, but takes a smaller bulb. The 170-100 (LLB233)
fits the map light socket. Swaps like this are fairly common if a car has
been restored, as the licence light assemblies tend to rust and the map
light assemblies don't.
Good luck.
