    Can you gents tell me if the Universal Tornado style mirror is similar to the euro spec Vitaloni Visomatic?
    I understand the Baby Tornado is smaller and doesn't line up too well on the door so I don't want that.

    And another question: Did the 84/85QVs share the same mirror as the 328s?

    Thank you in advance.

    No Tornado is not similar to the Euro Visomatic. The baby Turbo however is but too small, more appropiate for motorcycles. The Visomatic has been NLA for a long time now./

    84/85QV's have the same side mirrors as the 328

    Thanks Carl. Incredible that a piece of plastic is so hard to find. And the Chinese haven't cloned it?!

    This thread reminded me that I have an NOS set of the Vitaloni Visomatic mirrors in the Ferrari boxes. Mirrors are brand new, never installed, the powered model and they do have the little Ferrari shield on them. Part numbers on the boxes are: 61021800 and 61021900

    Does anyone have ideas as to the value of these? I know these have been NLA for quite a long time.

    I'm not sure I've ever seen an NOS set for sale but I did find some of the used ones you guys listed. Certainly the 2900 Euros for a used set with just horrible photos will sit forever looking for a desperate sucker. I may just have to break out my camera, list them, and see what happens.

    Unbelievable.

    I bought a pair of unused ones off eBay for about $200 each. This was, maybe 2005 or so.

    They are on my car but for two large, I may dump them and go back to the stock flag mirrors.

    Maybe.

    Doc, did i read a very old post where you tried the baby Tornados but didn’t like the look because they are too small?

    I bought a set of Vitaloni Californians and had a buddy 3D print me a set of adaptors to mate them to the car. The profile, the holes--none of it lined up with my 84 GTS. I have been meaning to get around to giving this setup a try. The OEMs are just not making it for me...

    Messed around with some MRacing mirrors a while back using different mounting options. Still on the car... probably because I like the look better than the OE flag mirrors. They're small with wide-vision mirror, a bit awkward at times. Planning to replace the glass with something more appropriate from Burco. It's another option from the OE items.

    Pretty neat. I might prefer a more conventional shape on an older car like the 308. Would look great on a Ducati!

    I have a pair of side mirrors for the Euro 308 QV - Euro 328 (exactly like the ones adverstised for 2900 euro): I don't need them so I can sell the set. They were installed on my drysump: the previous owner did an upgrade 25 years ago and I removed them for an OEM Vitaloni.

    PM if interested

    ciao

    I found a drivers side Vitaloni that came from a 328, (36754 )and I just bought a Lambo Countach pair with the same part numbers; 36754/36753 but the are a little narrower. Did the euro and US version share the same Vitaloni part number? I’ll be able to upload some pics this weekend.

    Scratch my question, I came home today and noticed that my mirrors are the same. I guess from a picture is was a little deceiving. Sure glad the Countach shared the exact mirror!
