Do a search on them. There was a lot sold from Argentina via Ebay, and quite a few of us bought them.

Is there any chance to find a couple more of the Argentinean ones?

Or, if not, where can we found something ... "similar"?

Like Lynn said, do a search on them:

The E-bay CMP mirrors

CMP Door Mirrors

Another source is British MGB sports car mirrors. They are available (about $125 if I recall) but are chromed.

Haridimos,
Try Paul Beck vintage supplies here in the UK.
I bought a pair from him a few years ago in their original painted condition, exactly as Lynn showed them above. From memory, I think he charges the same for the chrome ones.
Regards
Keith

@Keith: Yes, it seems that Paul Beck "Vintage supplies" is a one way solution and as Robert Pearce wrote here the mirror is offered in three configurations now: in chrome, nickel or black finish for 87.00 British pounds each..

@Hanno: Thanks for the help!

kostas.

Kostas.....funny, I also searched the forum for "mirror subjects" recently (also looking for two). I guess the Argentinian source dried out in the meantime.

As Bruce mentioned; some MG parts suppliers offer the CMP-model mirrors (Lucas orginally????), although I think they were actually used on the old TF and TC and not the MGB.
