rjluna2 ◊ 2020-05-28 16:43	Italian version?
dsl ◊ 2020-05-28 19:04	Yes, but it did not leave the Solihull factory wearing that face.

rjluna2 ◊ 2020-05-28 19:23	You mean these extra headlights?
dsl ◊ 2020-05-28 20:01	^ Amongst other things - wing headlights are too low and have strange holders, inner sidelights are too big, inner headlights are wrong for the grille (I can only remember seeing a similar combination on the Queen's 1950s Royal Review parade Landies. And whitewalls on a Landie!!!!
Sandie ◊ 2020-05-28 20:18	I think it's a pre-68 series II with amended grille. These wing headlights were used on the Italian Market when Land Rovers elsewhere had the inner headlights)
rjluna2 ◊ 2020-05-28 20:23	So, in other words these factory headlights location were not legal for the Italian market?
jcb ◊ 2020-05-28 20:46	Similar thing in the North American market I believe.
dsl ◊ 2020-05-28 21:11	US, Belgium and NL all required these "Bugeye" lights on wings at end of 1960s, but all at normal height, not low down. The cream headlight holders look like early 1960s Santana items (but I'm not suggesting this is Santana - just a weird one).
tore-40 ◊ 2020-05-28 22:46	Regarding the 'Made for' tag - I really can't think they would leave the factory looking this odd, was it rather a local hack job (as was also done with items like mudflaps, repeaters and so on?)

Check the "Made for Italy" Series IIa Land-Rovers, they all have (usually low mounted) wing headlights. I think the work was done by the importers using local parts but is fairly consistent through the made for I collection, assuming they had this rule before other countries. By the late 60s Land Rovers had wing headlamps in every market anyway. It's not a proper S3 grille either, if it was there wouldn't be the room for those inner headlamps.
