It's worth noting that these are actual Fiat 131 Sport mirrors and not 'standard' California mirrors. The original 131 Sport mirrors have a different base which is unique to the 131 mirrors.

These are not Sport mirrors. These are the standard California ones. I can tell by the base which is shorter then the ones used on Racing/Sport, like theo says.

Sorry Mike I'll disagree with you here.  Wink These are definitely Sport mirrors and they even have the plastic base unique to the sport mirrors. I can tell that because both the mounting screws are accessible without removing the mirror from the base, see photo below of California Mirrors.

After looking again at the pictures i must say you could be right. However, the bases were made of aluminum, weren''t they? At least, all my Sports had aluminum bases anyway.
The fact is that these mirrors are not rare, like the seller says. I have lots of them which are all new. The bases, however, are rare. Especially because the were only used on 131 Sports  Smiley Smiley

This lancia S4 has a rod under the mirrors to stop them moving.
