[DeTomaso] Baby Turbo mirrors?

1) Looking for pix of the full-size turbo, because the baby turbo looks an
awful lot like the mirror mounted on my GT5-S. Most (all?) of the GT5-S use
this style, so I suspect that if Julian has a collection of Californians on
GT5 cars, they primarily used these mirrors in the early 80's and switched
to the Turbos in the mid- to late- 80's.

2) I found this on a Lambo fórum which may be of interest:
The Jalpa and the Countach share the same mirror. I ran into the same thing
when someone broke my drivers <http://www.lamborghini-talk.com/vbforum/#>
side mirror. I was actually able to fix it, but I can pass along this
information that I found during my search.

There is a company <http://www.lamborghini-talk.com/vbforum/#> called
"Re-Originals" that makes parts for Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, FIAT,
Alfa, etc that are usually listed as NLA or next to impossible to find.
They do make a reproduction of the Vitaloni mirrors that are quite
reasonable in price and they look just like OEM. I'm attaching the photo
they sent me of their unit. Also, here is the URL to their site:

     Jim,
     Thanks!A  Yes, sadly that's what I thought. I have a set of Babys
     for sale but the intended buyer likely will want the full size
     model.
     Next--am I correct in saying that full size Turbos are unobtanium?
