Dear Listers,
I don't want to disappoint anyone, but to my knowledge, early Sprites were
delivered w/o mirrors. Certainly they were installed by dealerships and I
believe
that period mirrors are accepted in concours.
FWIW, I think they are most attractive w/o mirrors which is the way I drive my
HAN-6. For those wondering how this is done, I have gone through a rigorous
training program which allows me to turn my head left as well as right to view
objects on the sides of the little thing.
