[DeTomaso] Vitaloni Mirrors from Pegasus

[The Goyaniuks]

 For those interested and just to fill in some info ....
Vitaloni "Turbo" mirrors came in three types.
1)  Vitaloni "Turbo" (Manual Adjustment).  These had one hinge joint for "folding back" the mirror bucket.  The mirror glass itself is adjustable inside the black mirror bucket.  The mirror bucket is fixed (the mirror glass moves).  They have a rubber "accordion" boot covering the one hinge.  These mirrors were commonly installed in:  DeT GT5/GT5S, Lambo Countach, Ferrari 308/328/512BB ... and more.2)  Vitaloni "Turbo" (Electric Adjustment).  Same as 1) above but the mirror glass is adjusted buy a toggle and switch within the interior of the car.  Most of today's cars offer electric mirror angle adjustment of this sort.3)  Vitaloni "Baby Turbo" (Manual Adjustment).  These had two hinge joints.  The mirror glass is attached to the outer black mirror bucket housing.  The mirror glass/bucket assembly adjusts as a unit.  They have a rubber "accordion" boot covering the two hinges.   The mirror housing assembly is of similar shape to the Turbos but slightly smaller in size.  The accordion boot is slightly different as well. 
I know this because I have NOS of all three.  (NO, NOT for sale - don't ask)

 Hi Mike,
I also preferred the Baby Turbos but you need the two legs (joints) to adjust for the Pantera, in my opinion. The ones with the two legs (I forget the model)  provide endless adjustments for angles.

Pegasus has the Vitaloni Baby Turbo mirrors, but if I recall correctly,
these only have one joint rather than two, making it difficult to impossible
to mount it to the top of the door and bend it 90 degrees.  I don't want to
mount it to the side of the door, that always looked odd, and I don't want
to have to hang it through the glass of the wing window.

 

The Baby Tornados, also on their site, look very much like what I have now,
but I've always liked the Turbos more.

 

Thanks

Mike Thomas
