Hey George,
Congrats on the cool new score. Love those cars, can't remember the last
time i even saw one. Checked out some pictures in an old "The World of
Automobiles" encyclopedia i have (printed in '74). The mirrors on the
'74 models shown, both LHD and RHD, sure do look like what is on my '70
amx.  

Good luck on the Lucas, Smith's 'sorting', brings back some not so fond
memories of playing with Triumphs. Least the engine and trans is easy..................
