It's a R380 12V 21/5W Stop Tail light bulb. Search R380 Bulb on eBay, or any Motor Factor or Halfords keep it. It's a very common bulb.
Lucas call their version of it an LLB380 just to add to the confusion.
When you change it, take note that the pins on the side are at different heights.

Probably the most common lamp out there, before all the different LED things started getting fitted....
just about every vehicle on the road used it.

Just search 380 Stop/Tail Lamp.
