RSR Mirrors - anyone have detailed pictures and/or brand info?

[911_2.2T]

I've recently been offered a batch of black Sebring mach 1 type mirrors. (and a couple of chrome ones)
I say type, because these are made by Leart and the modelname is Torino.
They are an authentic 70's item, housings are made of metal and the shape is identical to the Sebring Mach1, later taken on by Viteloni. Housings seem to have a very small foot, so that it rises a small amount off the body when mounted and they look very similar to the RSR mounted ones in 1973.

Maybe someone has some pictures of the original RSR one so I can compare the differences if there are any. I think I can make these available for $250 shipped (for the black ones) if there is any interest in them, but I'd like to know what I'm dealing with before I try to get a small batch of these. (say a pair or 5 to 10)

Thanks for that Dave!

Judging by the small rectangular shape that is nearly visible through the repainted housing, I'm pretty sure that these are the Sebring mirrors.
Thanks for the Info, based upon that I'll leave the 'almost correct batch' for what it is.

I've offered my sebrings up for sale yesterday since my next project will definitly be an ST (once the R-hotrod, and the S Targa are finished). Just aquired a roller in CA that I will have shiped in a couple of weeks and I'm going for a set of Talbot mirrors on it.

Not just RSRs. The Sebring mirror, as far as I can tell, was used by the factory on more race cars, by far, than any other. And for a longer period of time.

I have seen examples on every version of werks car from the 904 up through the 962. It's hard to believe they couldn't find anything better in that amazing timespan, but they show up on all of the plastic prototypes (908, 907, 910, 917, 936), and the production based 911 race cars including the many RSR versions, 934, 935, and SCRS. I think the draw was very light weight and very little drag.

I bought a BMW R/50 in 1970 that had been raced in Europe in the 60s with a full Glaser race fairing - the mirrors on the fairing were Sebrings.
