Hens tooth from Hella - calling lamp police

[uai]

This is a Combo Fog and Driving Light from Hella with two bulbs looking like a larger 127. The german interpretation of a Cibie Super Oscar.
Does Anybody know how they are called?
Any input on these is appreciated.
I guess this will end in a long long (or very expensive) hunt

Cool Hella but I spent more time looking at the reflection in the housing than the light itself. Hypnotic. What swap meet was this?

Hi Frank, this was in Essen.
As the Seller is commonly known for over the Top pricing, I didn't dare to ask.
Cheers

Uli,

I understand. Us "thrifty" guys hate paying too much. Your long sleeve, colorful plaid shirt screams "whimsical, yet conservative, but still enjoys a good party after a long walk on the beach."
Sorry, I'm a detail guy: Judging by those pretty hands of yours, I would say you're too smart to be a mechanic? Mine don't look like that- currently nursing half a fingernail on one middle finger and chapping that Udder Cream won't touch.

Is Essen a good swap meet? How does it compare to our flagship meets like LA and Hershey?

Why Frank,,,,I didn't know you had such a 'sensitive' side. I was beginning to enjoy your crusty, curmudgeon side What next, finding out you've been secretly buying up all the sportomatics you can find!!

LOL.
Ed, fate is a funny thing. Stay tuned.

You should see today's shirt!
Now they are mine.
They are called Hella 154 ZNW. I think I'll have to sell my NOS 128's to refinance.
They are from Week 38 1962

Well, It depends on what you want. It's not comparable to Essen in terms of quality/rarity of Cars (not only Porsche) on display.
Last year it must have been poor as most of dealers were either at Stuttgart / or at Essen - if had the choice I'd have been (or better was) at Essen.
Theay have a smaller swap meet section, but for me as a local it's always worth going there. Last year I've been to essen only.
They had some nice Italian cars this year (among others a beautiful touring bodied Lancia, two nice Siata Dainas 1 convertible ,1 coupe) and a really great special display of Delahaye from late 30's to early 50's.
An unrestored patina'd Kompressor Mercedes was one of my favourites together with a ratty Facel Vega HK 500.
But in general I more and more like Paris, because it's so small and you don't see 70 Pagoda mercedes.

Two or three 904 some 914, 914-6, the 914-8 hotrod with the 928 engine, and also around 30-40 transaxle Cars including a nice first owner 928 GTS and a 924 Carrera GT, 934s were also on display. 930 are getting more and more expensive here too.
My guess is there were around 80-100 longhoods or backdates on display or for sale, for parts there were just the usual suspects with their stuff.
There were some 906 parts and some slidevalve intakes as well as a nice 2.8 shortstroke twinplug from bienert.
After all I spent 1 1/2 Days there, my feet hurt and I am looking forward to Essen.
BUT I HAVE MY HELLA 154.
Cheers

Uli
