Of McLaren F1, Lotus Esprit S4, and Jaguar XJ220 to Mega Track, all of them have something in common with the above-mentioned Citroen CX after the facelift.

To develop a car is expensive, especially if it is a sports car that is in a small edition will be built. Some parts you can also but better reuse of models instead of making them develop. So has practically every Maserati from the years ’60 and ’70 taillights of various Alfa Romeo’s (sometimes even different rear lights per model), schroomde Ginetta not complete Ford Fiesta-doors in the G30 to hang out, while Aston Martin for the DB7 shamelessly Mazda 323F rear lights used.

Now there are more parts of D7 with that of other cars, such as the door mirrors. And thus I will answer immediately the question in the title, the mirrors are from a Citroen CX II. And not only Aston Martin used these mirrors for the DB7 and Virage, they are also on, among others, the Jaguar XJ220, the first copies of the McLaren F1, various TVR’s, and even on a Renault. Admittedly, the are very nice mirrors and thanks to the foot they are on virtually every car. So far we have the following sports cars for your Dutch national monument care:

Aston Martin DB7
Aston Martin Virage
Jaguar XJ220
Lotus Esprit (after restyling)
Marcos LM500
Marcos Mantara
Marcos Mantis
McLaren F1
Mega Monta Carlo
Mega Track
Orca C113
Renault Sport Spider
Spectre R42
TVR Griffith
TVR S4C’
Venturi 260LM
Venturi 400GT
Venturi Atlantique

We are curious if you still there can find! And if you have built in your shed working on the next big thing, do these mirrors do not, no supercar can be without it!
