My '72 3.0CS needs a front left turn-signal lens (the lens has been hit several times and is in pieces again). I see some on eBay but wanted to ask if anyone here has a better source. Thanks in advance.
Front left turn signal lens for e9?

Fyi, Original has 'Sidler' on them, repo's do not. I have non for sale unfortunately.
Yes, but if it routinely gets smashed, then do repro, seems logical.
You should make it clear whether you want USA or Euro.
I have both in your area.

I got so tired of replacing them that I put this on:

USA or Euro? The original, and the right turn lens, are solid amber.
Let’s try this- do you have a pic of the lens on the other side?

Here's the right side.
Ok- I have that lens in Alameda

How much is that lens in Alameda?
Looks like the shallower euro lense. US fits on euro it think, but not the other way around.

Yes, the car was imported from Milan for me in the mid-80s, so the lenses must have been euro. I eventually had to replace the left lens, and the new one stuck out from the body more, so that must have been the US version.
Hmm, side markers. Does that mean it was brought here and revamped for the DOT stuff?

Yes, it was brought here in euro condition and revamped for DOT certification. It was quite a detailed process. The speedometer is still calibrated for kilometers, however.
Your car is from Italy? YOu should put on some repop italian-style lenses (originals close to impossible to find):

Italian Turn Signal Lenses
Has anyone used these Italian lenses which are part amber, part clear lenses ? Did you keep them on, or did you go back to Amber ?
