Jon;
Do you have any guess as to when the UniPart transition was made for
Triumph? The reason I ask is that I have UniPart driving lights on my '75
TR6 ("UniPart" is moulded in the lens) and was wondering if they were
original to the car, either factory installed or dealer installed.

Being a 'partsman' in a past life, I'd like to add a point here on
identities. Stanpart branded
stuff really is old but for the UK at least and certainly while Triumphs
were still being made, the
whole BL group slowly moved over to UniPart branding on its parts for all
makes including Morris
Garages products. I think Jaguar may have been the exception - but then Sir
William Lyons never
liked to follow the herd. So if anyone comes across UniPart boxes with an
Alpha alpha alpha digit
digit digit number, its likely to be NQSOOS (not quite so old old stock)
