  • WANTED: Cibie LH tail light 140 / 164 / 240

Hi guys,

I am after a Cibie left hand tail light for my 144. I would prefer a brand new one, to match the brand new one on the right hand side, but an excellent condition one with the silver paint on the housing in tact and chome paint on the lens in tact would be good. The lens should not be sun damaged, cracked or crazed or colours faded as well.

It will need posting to Canberra ACT, but can also pick up locally, and may be able to pick up from Sydney or Perth depending on date.

Thanks in advance

This style but also with the bulb housing as well.

Paul I am clearing my garage - I have several pairs of 740 rear (new) lenses still in Volvo packaging - I will check if I have an odd LHS later today. I am in Castle Hill 2154. I will be in Canberra mid July. PM your mobile number and I will let you know if I have what you want

Regards

Adrian

Hi Adrian, thanks mate, but looking for 140 or 240, not 740, unless you think you've got other models of course :)

My bad Paul....i have 140 & 240 lenses will check condition & locate bulb mounts this morning. Adrian

    Thanks mate!

      If there are any early 244 housings I am interested. The ones on the 244 are reaching their last days!

      Paul - sorry I have not yet turned up the lenses etc.. I intended to travel to Canberra on Friday 7th. It is now doubtful - I tested positive with a RAT late last night. I will get tested this morning - I've been crook for a while so a positive result will disrupt our plan to visit our eldest son in Tuggeranong for the weekend.

      I will maintain the search !

      Regards

        Paul, I can probably dig up a used one, but it won't be perfect if you want something to keep you going while you wait. I find them very rare now and have switched to hella because replacement lenses are available. But the housings are very rare in good condition also. Need to play with 3d printing to he housings perhaps?

            Hope you recovered from Covid, I had it a few weeks back too, whilst interstate on holidays. Was the search fruitful?

              Paul, I probably have some decent....but not new cibies laying around if you still need one.

                Definitely interested mate!

                  will check tomorrow and let you know.

                    Thanks dude. Just needs to look nice, and without crazing (or very minimal) and without cracks and lenses unfaded. In saying that, the Cibie lenses are lighter in colour than the aftermarket ones and Hella lights generally.

                          Hi Paul, I found what I have, but all well below brand new condition I'm afraid. It looks like they are pretty rare now, and if memory serves, were always less common than Hella.

                          One of the housings is still reasonable.

                          Good luck with your search.

                            Ooh that housing is way better than the one I have already. What price would you like for a housing and the best lens out of the ones you have? I will be in your neck of the woods in a month, can collect then, or happy to pay for postage.
