Found in a decrepit box in the property dry dump whilst recovering scrap Holley carbies for recycling...
It's from a very popular car but this version is unique to Australia. It'll probably be donated to the local car restoration business unless I can find a project car to fit it to.

Original Mini; not sure the year, maybe Morris branded?

This is fair. However, given that this is just a lense and therefore only a pretty piece of plastic...what could go wrong?

If that’s true, it’s because it’s from a company which just bought rights to the brand. Lucas the company went through a few M&As; merged with Varity-Hayes to become LucasVarity, then got acquired by TRW. Elta now owns the trademark and ZF has rights to use it in some markets.
I actually interviewed twice with LucasVarity when I was in the co-op program in college.
