IT'S BEHIND YOU?
#1
Yes - it's nearly panto season again !

AND another thing -- Do tell folks, if anyone knows, when exactly did Longbridge first start fitting an INTERNAL rear view mirror to Sevens? My handbooks suggest that long chassis saloons had them but earlier cars? - maybe they came in with the 1930 steel bodied saloons. 

Our 1930 RF(3) came with one of those 'panoramic' mirrors they advertised in the early '30's (it's now gracing our 'C' series RP) and the RP when we bought it had a miniscule rectangular non-standard Lucas mirror with a complicated screw adjustment, not one of the oval Austin types

The top of the screen in our RK style RF is very much higher than the rear window and so the angle of the rear view in the mirror only showed about 20 feet of the road surface behind. Although non -standard I've had to resort to a suction cup attachment to a lower point because a 'long stalk' fitting above the screen resulted in so much vibration of the  mirror that it was useless.

What solutions have other early saloon owners adopted?
