Can anyone post a photo of the correct Vixen S3 window winder. I have a slightly different one on each door and want to match them but am not sure which one is correct. Alternatively knowing what car they're off would be useful.

Thx... Moto

Mine are pretty much like this....

but I'd check with the usual suspects as I keep finding more and more bits of mine that aren't as original as I thought!

Yep, and on my Tuscan V6. Here's another link.

Now I'm more confused. Yours is slightly different to both of mine as there is no overhang past the swivel pin end.

The only MG item I can find that is similar is the MGA handle : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAIR-MGA-55-62-WINDOW-WI...

Again this has no overhang.

The handles fitted to mine look a closer match to the Morris Minor item : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M-Minor-Chrome-Window-Wi...

Oddly though, one is slightly longer than the other.

I always thought they were from the Wolsey/Riley 1500?

Well mine are like this. Original to the S2? Personally I prefer the look of the curvey handle on the later cars.

Thx, these match one of mine, so guess they're correct. A shame they need re-chroming.

I don't suppose you know what car the window winder mechanism comes from. I will need to replace the passenger side over the winter.

Thx.... Moto
