Probably the original one was smashed off..

They stopped supplying the early mirrors fairly quickly iirc..

We used to replace broken mirrors with the later type..

Some people liked them, but some didn't...

Ive got a mate thats been at vauxhall for 30 years and he told me that a passenger sidemirror was extra back then as they thought they weren't needed. I think the interior is great, bit of shocker to began with but I've got use too it, definately keeping it though

How funny.. I've driven this car about 6 years ago... maybe more.

I was working over at Culham Science park and the security guard had got it as payment for clearing some old dead ladies estate of rubbish.
At the time I offered him £450.

It certainly drove well when I was wanging it round the car park :-D
