.. hey you guys ... can some of you take a pic of your talbot mirror... i'm gonna fit mine pretty soon -- thanx

cool! pls guys do post some pics! (and if you can also some fitted on beetles with us spec bumpers)

i was standing with one in my hand yesterday at a large meeting here in holland, but i just don't know yet! in doubt between bullet and american round mirror.
and i really wonder how they suit the towel rails!

cheers!

turtle, i found this pic of dirk's DFL car (right?)

i think the spot is ideal as it allows you to still open the vent window...

Hi, that´s Xavier´s (DAS) Looker. Dirk´s car is similar but runs on Fuchs alloys... ;)

Great !
I will buy one saturday, now I know where I put exactly this one !  :P
Great Car Xav !

Here's HOW to mount it....   all you have to do now is to decide WHERE!!? ;D

this NOS beauty's gonna be fitted

(i think the same as tessa's)

Just for your understanding ...
I will put a OBUS not Talbot, like 67's Xav !  ;)

I will take some pictures ...
 ;)

hey Max -- on xav's ride you'll find an early talbot (just like mine) check picture

ps. i think OBUS is not a brand but a name refairs to the model -- like BULLIT mirrors -- 'cause the shape reminds a bullit or for the frenchies an obus

Hi Turtle,

Jelle said it already: I dosn't matter where you mount it – you are not seeing anything! So in the end place it where it looks good!  :)
I have one on my Ghia and I know what I am talking about!  ;)
Cheers,

Georg

This is what mine look like ;)

I have one of these in its original box. I will dig it out tomorrow

Are you gonna sell it?

Thats a good question, one that I haven't considered. I don't even know how much its worth.

Hi!
Here´s an image of the mounting position of my Talbot. There are lots of different versions of Talbots around, and in my opinion only a few are suitable for bugs due to their size. Many of them are simply too large for a tiny bug door ;)

i think yours looks fabulous gregor, i would love to find one like yours!!

thanks.

I think the mirror that was shown by flatfire in one of the later postings (the wrinkle-painted one) seems to have nearly the same shape and size including the adjustable foot like mine.  I don´t know if the black one is a good copy of the one I have or if it is an original "Talbot" Mirror...By the possibility of adjusting the housing of the mirror as well as the angle of the glass it is even possible to see cars behind you with this model-could be important in case of cops rolling behind you ;)

While I was reading this topic I thought by myself wait, I got such a mirror lying here in the garage. I asked my dad about it, he says it's from the 60's/70's. I looks like the mirrors from this topic. Is Talbot a brand or a type of mirrors? On my mirror is a small stickers which says: ''Acero Inox Reguvis Patentado'' What do you think about it?

hi jesse -- talbot is a brand - made in berlin, germany -- but people use the name for a certain type of mirrors also

ps nice mirror by tha way

Sweet... newer seen a thermometer in the mirror....
