Vision

The little Fiat 126, although air-cooled, has a heater quite capable of de-misting the back window. Nevertheless, Alfred Woolf ensured that the car I am testing was provided with a Tonic external driving mirror, to make rearward vision doubly-sure. This simply clips to the driver’s door and is a most useful adjunct to any 126 driver. Tonic make a big range of accessories for Fiat cars, whose owners will find much of interest in their comprehensive catalogue. Their address is: Tone Accessories International, 35 Wake’s Way, Mitcham, Surrey.

An interior rear-view mirror made to EEC safety standards and provided with winkerrepeaters is made by Mirrocator, 125 Furtherwick Road, Canvey Island, Essex. It is priced at £5.95 inclusive of VAT, postage and packing. The winker lights are in the driver’s constant vision and are dimmed according to prevailing light conditions so as not to dazzle.—W.B.

Although it seems that the Wankel engine may not be best suited to motor-car use now that fuel economy and anti-pollution laws are prominent, Wolf Tools have announced the Wolf-Wankel Rotondor lawn-mower, the engine of which is factory guaranteed for two years.
