No pics, but if you do a search for mad rod, he had/has Vitaloni Californias like on the RS500 touring cars....

Ah right cool I'l have a look. Not too keen on the small bubble type ones thought maybe the group a cars had stubby ones like the escorts.

I think there was a bit of a mixture. Some had little mirrors like this:



Though the Autoglass cars had this sort of thing:



I'm sure I've seen some with the type as seen on the touring cars too.

Real ones are the one on the Autoglass car. These will be used then on the group A escort. Very rare.

Love them mirrors - only thing is make sure they are tight as after a few 100+ mph runs on the motorway, they decided to droop a little but all sorted now

Can you see much in them?! The ones used on the rally saffs look like they're too small to be practical....

I've bought some WRC mirrors for my Escort and they're tiny. But, in that game, if you're looking backwards, you're doing it wrong

You can see enough - if they were any smaller then it would be a right pain in the arse. Just right IMO
