Brought about by the "what cars you've had" post, and my piling things onto ebay.
I have this in my old clean spare parts box.
ANY IDEA WHAT ITS OFF?
It says on it VEGA 5069X.

I think it is from an Austin/Morris 1100 but I have been known to be wrong.

OK I was wrong.

Actually from a Hillman Imp.

Nice one. Sorry I don't think I mentioned anything about a prize did I?

Interesting though because i've never owned an Imp!
I thought it could have been Renault , I had loads of them, but couldnt piture it.
Thanks alot, its on ebay now

Could be a Renault 5. BMC 1100 ones were symetrical so you could have flashing sidelights

Vega refers to Britax Vega, defunkt uk lighting & mirrors company. The mould probably still exists somewhere - there are a few companies who do small runs of these parts for classic car people. The site is now Koito Europe, a Japanese Automotive Lighting supplier (Jap Transplants, Bentley, L-R, Jag etc etc) In Droitwich.
