German made Tabbert Contessa de

I haven't been able to get pictures yet but of the ones he has shown to me it appears to be in great shape.

Iam looking for tailights for our 1982 Travelmate motorhome. They have 3 lenses and are surface mount. They were very common in the 70 and 80 not made anymore. Looking to purchase a pair.
