I have just bought a 1961 minor, it has no interior bulb and the part listing in the original handbook is 2H4817, can anyone tell me what the modern day equivalent is please?

It's a festoon bulb you need, one of these. I can't remember the size but measure the holder and you should be ok. Places like Halfords or your local auto parts shop stock them. It will be 5w.

It looks like a bayonet bulb though to be honest.....

In that case then it's a BFS949 bulb, The BMC manual does actually say there were two types fitted. The manual says its BFS949, 12v 6w.
I was under the impression it was a festoon bulb
