have a look on the picture to see diferences...

...don't get why is so difficult to find a couple of wing mirrors!!!!

The mirrors have been unobtanium for a long time, just like the pod mirrors for the series 1. They're one of the parts that are specific to the Esprit, as in not used in other applications.

I've also heard they are the same as a Ford Capri, but doubt that very much as Capri wing mirrors are manual.

Franky,

If Hilly cannot help i think i have both styles, the left picture is for S3 cars, S2 different, have those two, at least your drivers side as moved the door yesterday with mirror attached.

Ford Escort / Orion Ghia models have similar i am told, but never checked, also someone said London Black cabs are v.similar too, but may not be electric

The left handside one on your diagram are the same as the early Stevens, they are off a Ford Fiesta Mark1 (good luck to finding one of those in the scrap yard!) I had my passenger one off at the weekend and it had the Ford logo on it.
