[Mg-mmm] Accessory "trouble light"

[DB35PA at aol.com]

Lawrie,
My prewar Moss Catalogue call it "Tool set inspection lamp with lead and
plug". I have also heard them referred to as... "Portable torch" and
"Roadside  Torch". On my lamp itself (black) is says...LAMP INSPECTION MKII
Ref no.
5c/309  (Picture of a crown) with A.M. under crown. I paid way too much!
Hope this helps
Don B.

Hi,  folks,

I have a customer looking for one of those accessory lamps that  plug into
the red/black dash sockets on a T-series MG. He wants one of the  brown
ones
with the wire that coils inside the body and the hook to hang  it up under
the bonnet.

His search via the 'net is stymied by his  not knowing if it has a real
name
(searching for "accessory auto lamps"  takes him to all sorts of quite
wrong
lamps!), and he has no idea what he  should pay if he does manage to find
one
of the correct lamps.

Any  help or insight would be appreciated.
