1956-65 Rolls Royce Bentley Lense story-a long story---------
Lucas stopped making these in the 80's
they were a cheap poly-------
same polymer as MG--Tr etc
they craze, crack etc--------
LUCAS is NOT in the aftermarket biz---
think about the TOTAL RR/B made 1956-65
one YEAR of MG production!
so dealers had a supply--for awhile
In the early 90's dealers ran out.
A friend, Bill Sundin told me about this, and knew I had made PIERCE-ARROW lenses.
I spent 2 weeks calling RR dealers. Bill was correct.
I had developed a state-of-the-art material
so I made quality lenses-
no shrink
uv stable
will not crack, FADE or craze
Then a couple of dealers realized there was a gap--in supply. So they made lenses. from the same poly that Lucas had used.
I am a carguy---------
check the cars I collect. Top quality. RR, Pierce Cad V12/V16, early Porsche, Clenet, Excalibur, Duesenberg.
This was a hobby.---I am not in the lens business----

If you want your brake lights and night running lights to be seen--get mine.
If you want to save a few bucks--get other ones.
