Classic chrome 'Carello' lamps - for use as fog or reversing lights

[Michael Tryton]

A current topic on here called 'Safety Items' reminds me I've still got a couple of period 1970s 'CARELLO' lamps ideal for enhancing any classic 1970’s ALFA ROMEO, LANCIA, FIAT or FERRARI - whether as fog or reversing-lamps.

Having recently sold my beloved Fulvia (after 28 years!) maybe it's time to recover them from the loft & move them on to someone who'll make better use of them.  

Both my lamps are in super condition as per photos: enlarge the images for a better view, once they've been uploaded. These lights come with chromed bodies and the second one (only) has a plastic 'CARELLO'-embossed cover.

Pics are to follow but this website does make it really hard work - please bear with me!

As authentic period items, they're both obviously 'used' but remain in very good condition, considering their vintage - check my photos - and I can also confirm they've both been tested & are working properly.

A must-have addition for any Italian sporting classic:
1. Without cover (155mm/6" diameter): £65
2. With correct 'Carello' cover (140mm/5.5" diameter): £79

Plus Post & Packing - sent via DPD or Real Mail, as appropriate.

At the end of this topic thread, I've also added a brand new & unused, classic FIAT reversing lamp rescued from my 'Come-In-Handy' store...

Or - in the vein of classic Italian reversing lamps - realise I can also offer this new & unused FIAT 126/124 reversing lamp, complete with fixings, of a type often mounted BELOW the rear bumper.

"You pays your money & you takes your choice..." as they say.

In this case, I'd request £12 for the FIAT lamp, plus postal cost via DPD or Royal Mail, as appropriate.

Or instead of some French CIBIEs, you could always add an Italian 'Carello' (or two*) to your Fulvia.

(*Because I do now have two available...!)

I always think that Cibie or Carello covers really add to the look of front auxiliary lamps.

Let's be honest, these cars are rarely used at night by most owners, so in view of the rarity of the covers I would strongly advise them to be taped to the lamp body with white insulating tape. They can't drop off and are much more difficult for souvenir hunters to nick!

Do you still have these lights?
Thanks

I still have the larger 'Carello' fog lamp (shown above on Fulvia & Alfa bumpers) - which in my view is the nicest one, actually - and also the rectangular FIAT lamp.

While that smaller 'Carello' fog lamp with a cover has now been sold, however.
