Rear Reflector Question

[SamS]

Just saw a listing for this SC and it has an amber rear reflector? Cant find anything about this online.

I kind of like it but mostly just curious. What is going on here? One-off aftermarket part or unicorn of unicorns?

suspect its simply weird color settings/manipulation on the photo -- note that the rear reflector's the same color as the brake light sections of the euro turn signal lenses -- and slightly darker than the yellow on the turn signal sections of the euro turn signal lenses -- would be crazy (imo) to have yellow brake lights . . . .

Just the effect of the lighting and angle of photo

G Models were sold with 3 different styles of rear reflector over the 15 odd years of the model run.

This. That same car is listed on other site where the reflectors appear red.

Those pictures are also heavily edited. Notice the use of the vignette effect. Somebody has been playing with color balance.
