S1 elite electric wing mirrors

[mikeeech]

Went to lotus bits today to get some electric wing mirrors but alas the cupboard was bare.

 

So if anyone has x2 spare they would be gratefully received.

On the Si Elite, as the door surface is relatively flat around the mirror mounting (unlike on the S2 which has moulded mounting profiles) you are free to find a mirror assembly from another vehicle if you don't mind being non-original. My wife has a Fiat 500 and it looks as though those mirror assemblies could fit (I don't know about the wiring though).

On a related subject, it looks like the Fiat 500 interior mirror could function as a replacement for the dash mounted mirror if needed, as it seems to fold back far enough against the mounting stalk, which is quite short. Haven't tried it yet though!

I was keen to keep it original. Lotus bits had a s2 mirror and plenty with a diamond shape base for the earlier s1's but I was keen to originality!

Mike, contact Keiran,( listed on TLF as Fueltheburn). I just gave him a set last week in a load of spares I disposed of. Not too sure if they are S1 or S2 models though.

Thanks for the heads up I will PM him.

Except for the chrome Base used on the elite. The Esprit had them body colour and used the taxi Base!
