I thought that they only needed to fold in if they stuck out past the widest point of the car. like on your tin top.
I may be wrong though.

I agree but you know what some testers are like on interpretation,

Mirrors 'E' marked ?
According to the SVA manual I have seen 'the criteria [for rotating inwards etc] does not apply to a mirror which does not protrude beyond the
extreme outer edge of the vehicle'. I would assume that the extreme outer edge of the vehicle for a 7 would be the outside of the front and
rear wheel arches. But you might be right to play safe....
On 'E' marking - all mirrors should have 'an acceptable European approval mark OR the characteristics equivalent to a mirror
approved for use on a vehicle of the same category.' In other words provided you have a decent mirror you should be OK w/o an 'E'
mark, although again if you get a mirror with one then so much the better.

ZXR400 copy mirrors on mine, they don't fold in and don't have E marks and passed SVA.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Don't need e-mark, as long as the height and width meet the spec, and the edges are rounded.
Don't need to fold - special rules for seven-style cars as the mirrors aren't the widest point (it's shown VERY clearly in the SVA
manual).
