Dash mount and door mirrors

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!

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 :roll: 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.

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.
