I see Pegasus sells them also, so perhaps they would be selling the originals?

I got a pair of the vitaloni type from ebay.

The shape is good and they will probably work quite well, however, the
hinge mechanism is poor. They don't stay in place and will not tighten up
very well.

I'm going to return them.

Here you go. Just been out to take some.
Apologies for quality (and the mess in the garage!), used tablet camera and a work light for illumination.
First three show mirror on the car, last one with the mirror disconnected from the mounting foot to show "washer". You can see the top of the washer between the front of the mirror arm and the mounting foot in the third photo from above. The screw passes through the washer, then the arm then into the mounting foot. The screw doesn't touch the front of the mounting foot.

On a similar note, can anyone recommend an interior rear view mirror.

I'm planning on bonding it to the screen and was thinking a slightly convex mirror would give a good
view out of the back and passenger side.

I went with the bullet style when I redid 693R.  Picked up a convex mirror for the right side.  Attached it as in the photo...never had a problem and could see quite nicely around me.  That the style is contemporary to the car...it could have been done back in the day.  So, unless you're a stickler for originality over safety...

Thanks, I've settled on the door mirrors now but I was asking about the interior rear view mirror.

Ah!  My bad.

If the glass in your mirrors is flat, try to get hold of a large convex mirror. I got a lorry replacement mirror. Go to your local glazier and ask him to cut two pieces the same size as your current mirrors. Fix the new mirror with double sided tape. You should find the field of view is greatly increased. Worked for me on my pair of wing mirrors.

Thank You so Much....removed the doubt I was having.....

Even though I would prefer the shiny black mirrors, it looks like the Pegasus ones are for me given they are a trusted source.  I guess I can sand and paint to match, and it looks like the mirror base won't cover the existing holes from the sebring mirrors, so I'll be doing some paint repairs to fill the old holes in.

Thanks again Silver Beast
