Accessories

[JC T ONE]

Here is a picture of my latest find = a pair of spotlight covers.

These are the rare 281057 which were only sold as an accessory.

The ones you see on a GT are the 281056, which also were made as repro a few years back.

The difference on the 2 types are the size.

Thanks Steve,

yes these are not easy to find.

Regarding me using them = dont think they will get room enough ?

the spots in my accessory grill, sit very "snug" against the rim in the grills.

Might end up swapping for another accessory ? or just put them in the boot at car show,s .

Hi Jens. Can you post a pic of your spots? I think you may have what I have been thinking of doing and I would be interested to see how they look.

Hi Graham,

Here is a picture of the whole kit = grills - spots & brackets.

Took me more than 27 years to get a complete kit.

This and the tourist kit are some of the rarest accessories Volvo made.

Towing hook kit right behind the 2 above.

Thanks Jens, you have done well. I didn't know that Volvo did a grill with a driving light insert so I was expecting to have to make my own - I expect that I still will!

Can anyone post a pic of these fitted on a car?

Hi JD no I grew up with BMC cars all around me, and luuve all (well most) things British.

I bought my 1966 Volvo 122 Ragtop 14-4-1978 and as you can see = still have her.

Hope to get her recommisioned soon.
