WOW, I was just at the Vette museum in B.G. today, and they had a yellow 1986 mule there with GB plates on it.. What you have got there has to be worth a few $s... 
Dreading to take a Corvette home with me to Norway because I know I will have to re-arrange the whole light system... No red (in-light) turn/hazard signals, and I will need fog lights on the rear. (+ the front end will be destroyed with a license plate
)

The front plate isn't THAT bad, besides every vehicle has to have one. As far as the rear fog light, I just added a 21 watt red light under the rear bumper on the right side to pass the MOT (Ministry Of Transport) test besides the amber turn signals.
Now, you might notice that the amber rear lights (while I had the Vette in England) were on the outboard side of the car (by law). When I brought it back to the states I put the amber lights inboard and had the running/stop lights on the outside. Thought it looked better.

That's because it's the export tail lights on an export Grand Sport. GM did make corvettes for the export market and the license plate on the rear of most European models is a long plate. Too long to put the back-up lights on the ends so they were put on the bottom half of one of the tail lights.
The rear lower lights on the bottom half of the rear bumper are the required rear fog lights. They are 21 watt bulbs that you put on when it's foggy (and that's quite a bit of the time) so the rear of the car can be seen by rear approaching vehicle. The BMW has the rear fog light integrated into the rest of the light.

At first I thought it was a bummer that I had to have the amber lenses here in Sweden but they grow on you.

)Over 30 years and under "bevaringsverdig" red turn signals is legal.
It supposed to be legal with red turnsignals under §1.15 also.
It is wise to check with AMCAR, they know the rules for that.

The people in www.amcarforum.no is also quite knowledgeable about this.
I have read this atleast in Amcar Magazine, but sadly not wich issue but if I find out I will take picture and out it here.
