#1 Sunvisor Vanity Mirror

Post by Nickleback » Sun Aug 28, 2016 7:27 am

Hi all,

I'm looking to fit a sun visor vanity mirror to the back of my passenger sunvisor for my wife to use when we are out & about.

I have searched the forum, SNG & google and can find no e-type specific information about it.

Was this ever an option on an e-type, can it be retro fitted, if it never existed has anyone ever done one ?

Maintain your car's originality and tell Mrs Nickleback to take a Selfie* like everyone else....

6 months late but....Mine has one and it is clearly original. Oval shaped (v elegant, looks a bit like a Victorian vignette on its side), set behind an oval opening in the felt covering. Glued to the foam within.
The silvering on the mirror seems to have completely degraded to a sticky brown coating so I will be getting it re-done, along with the rear view mirror, in due course.
Maybe they dispensed with them when S2 came along?
