Actually it's from a Citroen CX late model (or Lotus Esprit). Either might be hard to come by at Halfords, it's well worth taking a paper pattern and comparing to some other cars -- I've not measured but the mirror glass on my Jag XJR looks very similar in size/shape and they are a little thicker on the ground than old Cits/Loti/Tivs. Please let us all know if you find one that fits, happy hunting.
I had to replace one when I had a Chim. Its from a Citroen CX, lotus esprit or Jag XJ220!. Halfords ordered one for me but I gave up after 3 months, Citroen dealer wanted more for a non heated mirror than the TVR dealer wanted for a heated version. I think it cost arround £32 but I cant be sure.
Take care when fitting, there is a small black slider under the bottom edge. Slide it one way to release the glass and then back again to secure the new one.
Hope this helps

They are about £50 from Citroen themselves so that is a very good price.I was quoted £55 + Vat for the heated version from a dealer.The mirrors are used on a lot of serious sports cars inc ,early Mclaren F1,XJ220,Lotus Esprit/Excel,Marcos,Spectre R42,Aston Martin Vantage,Renault Spider and probably others!.
