By proper Mk2 it was 2 screw, the one you are looking at is very early in the mk2 era (aka mk1.5 unofficially), so may be changeover period however?? |

1967 according to Lucas, via Morris 1100, so two-screw for your car Kath. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=86270 Unfortunately they are hard to come by. A NOS lens brought over $150 on eBay recently. viewtopic.php?f=27&t=86412 |

I had 2 fitted for 7 years and they still looked brand new when I sold the car, must have been lucky but then it was always parked under cover. |
