Nice and rare part but not correct for U.S. or Euro cars. I believe it was correct for Japanese and NZ cars. The recent 2.7 Carrera book has the details.

Hi John,

check the PET and you will find they are LHD and RHD models even with convex mirror and chrome option, i beleive from the pn that this one (Sonauto order) is correct for LHD ;-)

Hey Oliver,

That could be the case, just not the U.S. or Euro cars.

I'm fairly up to speed on these owning both a '74 and a '75 Carrera. The PET is all over the place on these and is incorrect (shocker). These "golf club" style mirrors are specific to a couple other international variants. I'll check my 2.7 book when I get home tonight and follow up. Someone else may chime in in the meantime.

GLWS.

Still available, $500 shipped from France ;-)

That looks remarkably similar to a 924 mirror.

Hi Frank,

Italian 74/75 market ;-)

Those we have in my brother-in-law Carrera 2.7 (pictured above) are not exactly the same, they're a little "sharper" and the support is different (like those on RS 3.0) ... now, which one was originally installed is difficult to say ...

I'm 99.9% sure that the mirrors on that blue car are incorrect for Italian-delivered Carreras. I've seen half a dozen of these, including a 36k mile, one owner car I'm currently trying to buy in Milan, and every one of them has been fitted with the standard flag mirrors.

The excellent Carrera 2.7 resource book published by Bryan Snodgrass last year (which I highly recommend for those interested in the details of these cars) lists them as typical for Australian market, RHD cars.

As specified several times, in 1974 side rear-view mirrors were NOT compulsory in Italy and many cars were delivered with either one or NO rear-view mirrors at all and were then retrofitted in 1977 when the law making them compulsory was passed.

My 0.01% ;)
