Whether Concertina or flush smooth type, they are hyper rare.

Lefthand smooth are findable Righthand nearly impossible. I've never seen a concertina type going.

Take Care! When I needed a replacement mirror I bought an original Lotus one with boot.
The boot was as original as the mirror and when trying to install over the mirror structure it split
dramatically and was rendered useless. I had to use the original bellows type with a bit of repair gluing.

I repaired mine with a combination of superglue and then sealed this with a sealant designed for a convertible roof (Stormsure I think) It worked well for what was a modest split and may be of some help
