JZ Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Wing mirrors were rarely fitted in the early 1960s and then only, possibly, on top of the range or as an optional extra. I think they only became a legal requirement in about 1978 and then only on driver's side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERS Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Bernard Taylor (TPM) does etched mirrors suitable for 4mm cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted January 30, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 30, 2013 At least one external mirror was compulsory on vans and estate cars where the drivers view with the internal mirror could be obstructed by a load. IIRC this was from the 1930 Road Traffic Act. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 As Rangers has suggested, Taylor Precision Models (TPM) do some extremely fine stainless steel etchings which include internal and external mirrors and windscreen wipers (and, I think, steering wheels too).
