Guessing, but probably a generic part?
Therefore, styling accommodating a cheap and non-bespoke part?
I wouldn't have thought so, but it's possible. I think Jaguar would have styled it like that deliberately. If anything, the standard 7" or 5 3/4" round Lucas jobbies would have been off-the-shelf parts, but I think they'd have used these by choice. Unless they were in the BL parts bin for something else, maybe?
I had Sheerlines (3) & they had damn great Lucas P100 lamps with a solenoid to dip the reflector on the passenger side when the dip switch was pressed, that action also extinguished the driver's side lamp.
Interesting how such a set-up fares on today's roads, but then they were exempt from the MOT years ago.
My parents had a 2200 HLS with the trapezoidals. Strangely I do like these cars.
Beautiful cars. Great example of British craftsmanship.
I have a couple of P100 in the garage I inherited from my old dad. He told me once that if you see one going for less than £100, you should buy it.
Might be an idea to advertise them, cars that used them are fast becoming extinct.
