Great article about LBL591E:

And after reading that, if you want to see the GT crash at Sebring then see here at about 2:30...

Any idea what the side view mirror is on LBL 591E?

The exact model, no. But looks like maybe a Desmo clip-on unit? Seems to have a pivot also. Maybe similar to this?

Keep in mind it could interfere with the roll-up window.
