<span>Ferrari 308, 328, 512BB, Lamborghini Countach, Pantera GT5, Longchamp to name a few. These are the Vitaloni "Turbo" model. You can tell the Turbo version by how they mount; the rubber bellows; and most importantly, the fixed mirror shell. The mirror glass is separate and adjusts INSIDE the mirror shell (without moving the mirror body) by means of a gimble in the mirror housing body

<span>The second versions are called Vitaloni "Baby Turbo". These look similar to the Turbos but have a number of differences. The mount is different, the mirror adjustment is different and the mirror is attached to the mirror housing body. With the Baby Turbos, one adjusts the whole body/mirror glass together by moving a ball joint that is outside of the mirror housing body (the ball joint is covered by the bellows). These are worth no less than $150 USD and I would not let NOS Baby Turbos go for less than $200.</span>

Sorry don't mean to be difficult but It really depends on the ones you
have.
The ones most desired are the same Vitalonis that were on:
Ferrari 308, 328, 512BB, Lamborghini Countach, Pantera GT5, Longchamp

means of a gimble in the mirror housing body
There are two versions of the Vitoloni "Turbo" - manual adjustable and
remote electric adjustable.

remote adjustable (most rare) no less than $600 USD. After that, it
