#1 Wired Door Mirrors

My '73 OTS has the original wired mirror on the drivers side only, I didn't realize how reliant I was on the door mirrors until one wasn't there, are matching mirrors available anywhere?

Jaguar adopted a MOPAR AMC remote mirror for use in Series 3 E-types. The same mirror(s) were also used on XJ6 and S1 XJ12 sedans. There is an on-line vendor who sells reproduction AMC mirrors. A quick visit and you should find what you're looking for. Pay particular attention to the mounting stalk and the mirrors were offered with several different version. The mirrors also were offered in Chrome, primer or body color. Replacement glass is also available.
PM me if you need more info.

Happy Trails, Dick

Hello Kev,
When you say wired, are you referring to the manual wire, remote control type mirror? If so, the opposite side, matching mirror is available, but the correct Jaguar escutcheon for the Remote Control Lever is not.

I will be making a few of these for clients here should you need one.

Regards,

Bill
