MG Mitten was where I bought my last Tabot mirror.
Some of you on the british-cars list may recall me asking pretty much
the same question a few months back. I was looking for a set for my
Cobra. I finally settled for the look-a-likes that Moss and some of the
other Brit car parts suppliers sell. BTW, I'd like to get a 4 1/2"
convex lens for the passenger side mirror if anyone knows of a source.
After buying my mirrors I found out that the Cobra parts supplier I've
been dealing with sells Talbots. Here's the address and number:
Motorsports International
454 Goulburn Court
El Cajon, CA 92020
619-440-6105
619-440-3000 FAX
A word of warning, this place tends be very pricey even on commonly
available stuff. And don't bother writing for a catalog; I paid $20 for
a Cobra parts and accessories catalog. It's actually a pretty good with
lots of parts pictures and drawings not available anywhere else but
probably not of much interest to a non owner. Call or write for
specific information on the mirror you want.
Another place to try is Brooklands, Inc. There aren't any Talbot
mirrors shown in the catalog I have but I understand they've greatly
increased their inventory in the last few months. Worth a call.
305-776-BRIT.
