Hallo to everyone
My late S1 Elite (1979) is missing the dash mounted interior mirror. Does anybody know where to find a replacement or at least something similar? I asked to Lotusbits but they don’t have it. Moreover my car was originally fitted with the electric door mirrors (now it has the manual type) in the eventuality I would like to refit those do you have any suggestion on where to find them too? The interior panel switch for the electric mirrors is still there.
Thank you!

There are these on ebay. Possible to tinker a fit

Re: Dash mount and door mirrors
I'm pretty sure my spare dashboard just has the steel plate and no mirror, but I'll check. I've forgotten the original manufacturer of the electric door mirrors 
but I'll dig mine out to see if there are any brand markings. ISTR that they were also used on Aston Martins of the same period.

Re: Dash mount and door mirrors
Google search for 'classic car interior mirrors" brings up a few alternatives for dash top mounting, from TEX and SVC for example. Plus, some hanging down type of classic mirrors will also dash top mount.
