[TR] TR6 door mirrors

[Alex&Janet Thomson]

And...   As I found out, make sure not to block the operation of a vent window if it's a GT6! Ah yes, ask me how I know.

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.
