The original ones were made by Wingard and come up from time to time on Ebay. Much sought after so be prepared to bid higher than you might think. They may also be listed for Chevettes and VX's (late FE Victors). TEX make ones which look quite good, Dare I say it, chrome ones fron MK2 'escretas' and 'crapees' from f@&d also seem to suit quite well.

I'm always on the lookout for a good set of Engelmann mirrors for the Firenza (Opel manta 400 type) but like anything of that vintage,they fetch good money. Ebay Germany usually is the happiest hunting ground.

I have new pair of Vitaloni Californian mirrors which look good on Firenzas. They were fitted to various Ferraris in the '
70's. They are surplus to requirements and are for sale!

The grass doesn't grow under your feet does it now. Hadn't considered Vitaloni's before though,I suppose I'd developed tunnel vision on the Engelmanns. May have to do a bit of rethinking.
