As I continue to research originality of my TR6, I have discovered a new
curiosity regarding taillight lens configuration. Specifically, the
"sidemarker portion" of the assembly that wraps around onto the side of
each rear fender. As I reviewed Piggot's Original TR book, I noticed
that all cars pictured had amber sidemarker lenses. My car, however,
has red. (The turn signal portion is amber, but the side lens is red.)
Red is also what TRF, for example, sells - no amber listed.
Were the amber lenses on the UK cars only, and red installed on US
market cars?
