Front marker lens from Lambo same as 308

I'd always wondered if they were the same. That's a good find.

 

I wonder who used it first? The prototype Countach doesn't seem to have them. I wonder if they got adopted by Lamborghini only after Ferrari started using them. Or better yet that they are really off of some Lada or something.

i think they are off another car. we matched them up years ago, but they are cheap, so finding the source car has notb een that much a priority.


I did find that Toyota tie rod ends work on the 308's. They are a perfect match on my 208. i posted them in the cross ref thread i started a few years ago in the "sticky".

Cool thing is, this tie rod end is also used on modern Toyota and Kia cars, which explains why they are only $11.00 each from rockauto.com.


great thread, its amazing the things you will notice that are shared from cars of this era.

Lancia Beta vas first to use same indicator base 1972, lens is made for Lamborghini and Ferrari only as Lancia uses flat lense.

 

Actually your only partly right there Mikael! I thought this too originally...

The Lancia Beta assembly with the flat lenses was the same as used on the 308 GT4 only!

The 308 GTB/GTS, carby and injected cars, base is slightly larger than the lancia/gt4 base and is the same base unit and lenses as used on the Countach and Jalpa!

Ask me how I know!-LOL!

Peter, did this tidbit get registered in the sticky thread yet? Somehow I've got the feeling that it will be useful to me one day

 

I'm pretty sure the Lamborghini LM002 SUV uses them too. Does anyone know if Lamborghini uses the clear/amber one in all countries? I only see the clear/amber ones on Lambos.
