Back yet again to interior mirrors .
Henry Scat sorted me out a great dipping 70s mirror for Barnaby which is perfect for it - so thanks again .
A while back I also got hold of and old Lucas one for the Singer but somehow it just didnt look right in the Singer - me being over fussy again .?
Anyhoo a few weeks back i bid on and won a very tatty small , smoked glass mirror listed as a " vintage European '
Well it took a fair bit of modding to fit the Imp stem , Had to make a new rear fitting plate ( used brass ) and a shim to get the tension right so it was adjustable but didnt move whilst hoonage was taking place .
Well its absolutely bloody brilliant .
Not sure how as the glass face is flat but it gives you a really wide angle rear view - it seems to squash the view slightly top to bottom - much like cinemascope used to on films and being quite long gives a full rear window image , not only that its smoked glass so anti dazzle .
Ive no idea what its off of but recommend it if you can find one , anyone any clue as to what if off id love to know ?
