I got plenty of them on my 69..

This car also came to me with a single flag.

Yes, it might well be. But the picture is rather small, so does anyone have a close up ? Does the mirrror have any markings or such ?

Cris,

This is the original driver-side mirror from a 1967 PY 1600/2.

The mirror has 3 star-like images surrounded by "MADE IN GERMANY" in a semi-circle. It does not carry any brand name.

It is, like Mike mentioned, not side-specific.

Fantastic - thank you! I am quite sure now mine is different. Still too dark to get tot he garage when I get home, but I'll try to post a picture this weekend.

Please post more info about your car! Color and more pics!

They should be chromed rectangular "flag" mirrors. There are lots of them pictured above in this thread.

So, I finally succeeded digging through six feet of snow, cutting through the metre thick bramble bush surrounding the car, and slaying the dragon that protects it. And I did not forget to take a flashlight this time.

I took some pictures of my mirror. I think it is clear that it is indeed not the original one - not only because there are slight differences, but also because it has a brand name on it - "Spitfire", which sounds distinctly un-German.

If anyone has an early mirror for sale, I'd love to hear about it!

Thanks Mike,

It would be nice to have a picture of an original mirror located all the way up to the front of the door skin. Mine is located there, but when I took it off, there was an extra hole - which leads me to believe the mirror has been changed.

As soon as I can get to the car I'll take a picture of the mirror that is on there right now, but if any one has a close-up picture of one of those early "thin" mirrors, that would be most welcome.

Thanks!

Hi Cris here are some some photos of my early swan neck mirror. It’s in bad condition but I’ll be restoring it sooner or later. When I got my car it had the flag mirror in the position of where the early swan neck should be.

Hi Tups - here's a picture showing the original mounting location of the swans neck mirror on my Feb 67 1600-2 . 

Different mirrors were put on my car, but they kept the original mounting plate. Makes it easy to see where it was without the rest of the mirror in the way.
