Can't say for sure about a '69 - but my '72 has a front condenser as well as a rear deck condenser.Originally Posted by LongRanger
Plus the receiver/dryer is mounted in the left front wheel well, and the evaporator and blower is in the smuggler's box.
So hoses to the front are definitely required.

I just finished browsing this very interesting thread and it brought up a question regarding "gold-" versus "chrome-" colored nameplates and model numbers on the rear decklid. I was looking at this really cool car when Gary was marketing it a couple of years ago and the nameplate was gold but the model number was silver:
When I asked him about it, he said it came that way from the factory and until now I have believed that this detail (matching/non-matching chrome/gold) is random as shipped by the factory. On this thread, I see that there is a M470 comfort group that allows specification of this.
What's the deal with these name plates? Obviously they can be easily swapped out from one color to the other (or to black for that matter.) Were they ever shipped mis-matched as the owner of this car claimed?

It always was either all silver/chrome or all gold. Never ever combined, the fellow is wrong.I just finished browsing this very interesting thread and it brought up a question regarding "gold-" versus "chrome-" colored nameplates and model numbers on the rear decklid.

Both items are from my collection, here again
This is 1971
And this is 1971 too!, not 1972.
Another 1971 item, the german accessories list including prices.
Many option codes have missing numbers, as 424, since sometimes option codes for specific markets only or, not in use/special order. The 4xx usually indicates same group.

Interesting. The very similar one I posted earlier does appear to be 1972. It includes 473 (front spoiler) and 474 (Bilstein shocks), and all the prices shown are higher.And this is 1971 too!, not 1972.

How about Talbot Mirrors mounted way up on the fenders.... on an early 65 911,,,, and on the Kardex....
Will find pics of my old car. T

I don't know how popular the Talbot Mirror option would have been back in the day, but the Talbot Mirrors were not mounted on the fenders. They weren't mounted at all:
September 1965 Accessories Brochure, courtesy Charlie White
The picture in the brochure does show them forward of the doors. Note the 356 part numbers.
Somebody posted somewhere (I think this forum) that he'd picked up a car at the factory and they did mount the Talbots on it so that he could drive away. They recommended a forward mounting for taller drivers.
I speculate that because the first sports cars most Americans saw were British, and the Brits mounted their mirrors out on the "wings," many Americans associated fender mounted mirrors (and leather belts holding down the hood) with sports cars.
By the way, back in September 1965, each Talbot Mirror cost DM 22.50/$5.65.
