Hi Ian - Gerry sells a moulding that's the same as original and uses the lenses and bulb holders from a Mk2 Ford Escort but it's fiddly to make it all fit and you end up with thin fiberglass/perspex. Your's isn't one of those!

If my memory is right one of the options I looked at back in the day was from a DAF 33. It's a bit chunkier than the Stratos one and the back of it was slightly hollowed out? Looks like yours I think but I can't find a picture of one on the web yet! Let alone one for sale anywhere!

You're right Guy.
It's a Volvo part (who took on DAF's cars) by the looks (part number 3269813):

Volvo 66 to be precise Chris

The outer housing shows the hollowed out section I mentioned. Does that look like the back of yours Ian? You'll have to scroll through the gallery pics.

I've been looking for an hour or so and can't find any housings anywhere. Sorry but I think you might have to consider alternatives?

You'd need 2 of these to do the one Gerry supplies

Hi Guy
I think you have cracked it. Volvo 66
I think the one in the add has other accessories like the rest of the car!
Thanks
Ian

Thanks for the Hella assemble, very similar.
Ive tracked down a Volvo 66 assembly in Holland, from DAFhobby.
Also a new reversing lens from Italy.
The car is now at the rolling road garage to get the rear of the car repainted.
Another wait! At least the car will be ready for May, as promised, as I forgot to say the year!
