    Hi, anyone have a source for a set of NOS vitaloni mirrors for a 1982 LP5000S? I can post a photo of the non-working original pair if helpful.

    eBay uncovered one mirror, but a pair would be ideal.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi John, although not powered, Peugeot 205 mirrors share the same body. If any help?

    Regards

    Thanks, I wrote to him already.

    Just so I know what I am looking for, it is a ‘baby turbo’ mirror?

    Both left and right have electrical adjustment from what I can recall.

    No, the Baby Turbo unit is a slightly smaller and slightly more square-shaped unit, not correct-for-original-spec for the Countach.

    For your reference, here are images of what you require for an LP500S, showing ID numbers on the shell

    Hey Ken,
    I did have 3 sets, I believe I sold all of them. I will check if I have any available.

    Many thanks for the info and especially the pictures.

    Am finding NOS left side mirrors (not cheap!) but no rights (so far). Curious. The danger is buying one pricey OEM left and not finding its mate.

    Found an eBay NOS left with switch for €700(which I bought). Eurospares has the identical NOS left listed on the site for €1200.

    Never found a NOS or used right side mirror.

    Be careful with this Ebay seller. Many parts he is selling are not correct, poor condition, not fitting or are somehow modified to look like authentic Lambo parts but they are not. I lost a lot of money by this guy for scrap parts! He did not accept returns...

    I will post later how to modify a non electric Vitaloni Turbo mirror (50USD - 150 USD often found NOS on Ebay) to an electric version.

    Thanks Daniel. I was going on the pictures, but point well taken. Look forward to the mirror conversion write up.

    Thanks, K9

    Good news - my original mirrors have been found.

    Bad news - I bought a left side mirror from that eBay vendor.

    Was the one you bought from the vendor an original or? Just fell in the same category a couple of days ago, and they list it as Vitaloni NOS but not interested in taking possesion if its not the case, real expensive for a knockoff if thats the case!
