Re: British Car Magazine Photo shoot (Now mirrors)

2001-12-11 by mcaqmd

Jeff,

Try www.talbotco.com  They have the bullet shaped mirrors and some 
other selections.  I just put the "Sebring" style back on my car.  
They're just a little small for me.  They were used on S-2 and 
Twincam Lotus Europas.

Also try www.victoriabritish.com  Their catalogs are free and they 
have a number of different mirrors in their GT6 catalog.
