I know that YOD May 58 came with flat l488s and JEP September 58 came with pointy spartos and YNM Nov 59 came with flat spartos because I know enough of the history of them.  What was actually fitted as opposed to what should have been fitted is another story.

As per the attached photos I believe that the early SII's in 1958 originally had Sparto Plastic Domed Side Lens Very rare.  The Sparto Domed Side light lens were I believe replaced buy late 1958, early 1959 buy Sparto Flat Side Light Lens. 

If Indicators were fitted the Early 58 were Originally Sparto Plastic Orange Lens.  Sparto Plastic Orange Indicator Lens are basically unobtainable, they appear to have been replaced with Sparto Glass Orange Indicator, which can be found but are also quite rare.

Yes I am in the middle.  The photo was taken by our local newspaper just before we set off to go to Morocco on a Sheffield University caving expedition.  3 of us were still at school, we were in the lower 6th.  I learned to drive in that land rover and it is still in the family

Hi Nathan, that would be an absolute star move if you're up for it.
I'll shoot you a PM.

Can't you spot him

Are you in that photo, Peter?

It would be worth sending it up by courier on that basis.

Attached photo shows our 59 in 1967 you can see the flat sparto light

Our 59 had flat spartos from the factory and the indicators were fitted by us in 1963.  They came from a Rootes group range of cars - believe they were free.

If you were near to Glasgow I'd do it for beer money and consumables . Need to develop a wee side gig to help with one's impending early retirement lifestyle.
