Weasel1984 ◊ 2015-02-15 22:53	There is badge on the left - of TX ("2.2 Litres") or of Diesel (matter of mentioned wheels size). -- Last edit: 2015-02-15 23:02:27

It can't be, if mirror is original - MY 1978-80 TS had chromed one. 1981-83 had plastic one and indeed looked same like GTD (including smaller wheels - before 1981 MY TS had bigger ones), I forgot about this one in my previous comment.
