I need a similar to original inside mirror. I am curious as to what types are being used and if anyone has a spare for sale.
Thanks, Jim

Jim, the original Lucas mirror was used on Jaguars, Aston Martins and Austin Healeys of the period, some still available if you look hard enough, keep checking E bay as I have found several there, Frank | |

Jim,
I just did a quick search on eBay, and found one that's in the general ballpark. They do come up all the time so if you're not too happy with the price or quality, no worries... look again next week! eBay Motors: EARLY JAGUAR 420 INTERIOR MIRROR (item 140132462554 end time Jul-01-07 19:48:21 PDT)
Best,
T.

Jim,
I've found that a inside rear mounted camera works better than a mirror - even with the best mirror the view through the rear window in most GT40's is badly obstructed.
If you're interested, I'll send along some pictures of my solution although there is an existing thread that examines this issue!

I liked the description on eBay "the inside mirror in a GT40 is only handy for checking if your Webers are on fire"
