A mate of mine is trying to find out the make / supplier of the front spot lamps that were fitted to the 1966 Monte Carlo rally Minis. This is they year when they won 1, 2, 3 but were disqualified on a trumped-up technicality regarding the bulbs used. Can anyone help, or steer me towards where I can find out this info? Many thanks!

Blimey it'll be the 40th anniversary of this on sunday The disqualification was a result of non standard headlights being fitted with no dipping quarz iodine bulb IIRC. I think the rally car carried 2 lucas fog lamps. you could try and conntact the mini cooper register, there ex works and special tuning section should have all the answers.

Carello Sirio (I think) - but they were disqualified for the spot lamps operating via the main beam switch when they should have been wired to a seperate switch.....

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

Cheers guys - I've emailed a link of this thread to him! Is that the lamps or the bulbs? Does anyone have any more info, esp about the offending bulbs?* *IIRC, it was the reason for disqualififcation that interested him most
