Rover 75 Wing Mirrors

Do the door mirrors of a 75 fold back?

I am looking at creating off road parking, but the width of the space will only be 2.95m. 75's are 1.97m wide including the door mirrors, so it could be a bit on the tight side.

Thanks.

Yes they do.

Thanks. I was reluctant to try without knowing just in case I damaged them.

It reduces the overall width by approximately 16cm, which is quite considerable under the circumstances.

you could also fit electric folding mirrors but this will probably be expensive

Thanks for the suggestion, but being able to fold them manually will probably suffice.

Being the pedant I am, they're door mirrors 😎

And who am I to argue?

I don't think I can amend the thread title, though I have changed the text where I could.

I doubt it 😇

Looks like I have just started on a long learning curve.

Perhaps I should have asked the mods to close the thread after the first reply as it answered my question in just three words!
