[TR] TR6 door mirrors

[John Macartney]

They were fitted to both doors of a Triumph 2000 I had as a company car and I found them far better than the bullet mirrors I’d had years earlier on a Spitfire. Before you fit to the passenger door, I’d advise you have someone hold it so you’re sure it’s in the right position for use.
