AC SHOP Large Consignment Sale #1

[jaudette3]

Two sets of original (not reproduction) SEV Marchal Fantastic rally lights: 660/770's and 662/772's.

Produced from 1961 to 1969 Marchal 660/760 and 662/762 rally lights were used on many. many rally cars from the late 1950’s to the early 1970’s. They were a favorite of Porsche, Alfa Giulietta, Lancia, Ferrari and many Mille Miglia and Tour-de–France contestants.

As I have researched these it appears that originals are most likely not rare but they do appear to be scarce.

Very nice lights, but aren't these for 356?

Interested, what kind of bulbs are in these lights, H1's ?

Both I think. The predecessor to the 660/770, called the 660, was produced n the 50's and was very popular for use on 356's.

The 662's use a regular H1 bulb. Th3 660's use these bulb, I'm not sure what it is:

There are two extra original of these with the 660's. These lights are so cool to me. They tempt me to want to start a museum of vintage Porsche lighting. I could put it in the cleverly concealed penthouse at Audette Collection international headquarters. j

Cheers,
John

In 1965 Marchal offered the 'new' H1 bulb in their 'old' Fantastic 660/760 (fog) & 662/762 (long distance) models.
So the 660's are from before 1965 with the old style bulbs, the 662's from after 1965 with the H1 bulbs.

Thanks gers.

I have lights similar to the 662 on my '60 Roadster and I love them. I think they look great on that period 911 photo as well. Something very cool seeing such unique lights up front compared to what we usually see.

I agree. These are fascinating lights. They're a bold step away from the seemingly standard 118's. I had some kind of over size driving lights on my rally build but I don't recall what they were. Anyone know?
