    I want to buy a pair of the flag-style outside rear-view mirrors such as those used on the 3X8's after 1980. I find that the originals on my '76 308 GTB simply don't work for me since I'm 5'5" and have the seat adjusted pretty far forward. I don't know if 328 mirrors would work since they're electric unless they can be adjusted manually. Whatever brand/type/style they are, they must fit the contours of the 308 body and be completely adjustable and provide useful rear view of the road.
    Hope someone out there can help.
    thx

    I think what you are looking for are the Vitaloni "Baby Turbo" mirrors?

    If you want square flag style then what you are looking for are Vitaloni "Tornado"'s or baby Tornado's. The full size Tornado's are electric, the baby's are manual.

    Ebay is you friend, although full size electric Tornado's are rare as they were also used on Lambo Countaches.

    Good luck

    No, the ones I'm searching for are flag shaped and must be non-power/non-electric. I also had no idea they'd be so pricey at $3K per pair--ouch!

    Yep, those would do but I'd rather wait for some available here rather than pay the $119 shipping from abroad.

    I'm still looking for a set of suitable flag-style mirrors for my 76 308. Ideally Vitaloni Turbos or even Vitaloni Baby Turbos would be a huge improvement over the factory originals. That said, any other high quality similarly styled mirrors might also be acceptable substitutes as long as they do not detract from the appearance of the car or look out of place on the original mounting location. At this point, any and all recommendations are gratefully welcomed.
