Very odd. OK, Mitsuru, forum lamp identifying guru: Front marker lamps are unlikely to be Ferrari so I'm guessing SD1, but thæ tail lamps; to what do they belong? Too tall to be Allegro but of a similar style, or are they the rare Allegro Estate ones? I'm 97.4% sure I've met some of these on a TVR but that impression might yet prove to be clinically induced.
Oddly enough, I like that thing however I've already owned a C5 and that looks just like a 130% scale model of one, but without the mast at the rear.

John - rear lamps are not Allegro estate - they were a bit more squarer / fatter and had a little more radius to them - front lamps are not Rover either - they were much longer and did not have the side lamps above them - they look far eastern to me - some Jap sport coupe of the 70's / 80's ??

I thought it might have been a toyota part



You also have to consider these cityE cars were built in Germany to it will be harder to find but give me time!

rear light are straight from a fiat 126

Fiat/fso 126


City Mini El - Electric Vehicle


Now to search for the front indicators

I'm having no luck with the front lights, and from what I have seen on some forums they say they are made jusst for that car! But I don't buy that for a minute, and they atill make the car.

Beautiful!

It looks like there is space in there for a turbo or a hyabusa transplant and a turbo

I was thinking more along the lines of Mercedes OM660 Turbo Diesel. 71bhp and over 120Lb/ft of lovely torque are there for the taking as the 61bhp version in Smart ForTwos is strangled to prevent the operator from having fun. That option would also come with a five speed gearbox with automatic selectors and clutch servo, so no pedal and therefore legal for me.
And no, I won't be doing that to my 500.

Excellent detective work.. keep at it for the front lights
