FS: Vitaloni Sebring style wingmirrors (metal!)

G

Geert-Jan

I have a set of metal Sebring style mirrors.
These are NOT Vitaloni's, but from a different brand: AJW B'Ham.
They have exactly the same dimensions, the metal housing is identical except there is no 'Sebring' inscription.

The original Vitaloni is very rare and hard to find (and very expensive!) link

The chrome on these is degraded. But, unless you like this vintage look, these are perfect for sandblasting and re-chrome, paint or powder coat.

Price: €250,- (which is about $270,- / £218,-)

Geert-Jan,


If the mirrors are marked 'AJW B'Ham' in-between the fixing studs then they are probably 'Les Leston Silverstone' Mirrors. These are definitely a very nice period mirror, very similar to the Vitaloni Sebring & I understand they were available in Chrome or Black.

I'm no historian & don't know if they were ever used on GT40's but I wouldn't be surprised if they were. Perhaps some of the more knowledgable forum members may know better?

Kind regards

Julian

Thanks Julian.
In my search for these Vitaloni Sebring mirrors I finally found a very nice set which I installed.
In my opinion, these are the nicest looking mirrors for the GT40 (certainly not the most functional).

One suggestion for improving the rearward vision of these mirrors- Mount them as close to your eye as possible, such as on the doors. Mounting them on top of the front fenders gives a very small field of view.

Hallo Geert Jan,
Volgens mij heb ik jou jaren geleden een NOS nieuw in de doos set Sebring potmetal spiegels verkocht.
Ik heb in mijn garage nog een viertal originele Sebring spiegels liggen.
Ben aan het opruimen en wilde ze op de GT40 site te koop zetten
Heb mezelf wel aangemeld maar mag/kan blijkbaar de marketplace niet op
Twee spiegels hebben een perfecte body, één wat minor pitting en één veel degradatie.
Van deze vier spiegels is een hele mooie set te maken
Deze spiegels zijn van ZAMAK (potmetal)
Prijs voor de lot is €425 ex shipping
Heb jij enig idee hoe ik deze spiegels "aan de man" krijg ?
Alle hulp/suggesties zijn welkom
Groet
Nico
