Take a look at these mirrors that came off a SI 240z I wrecked years ago. Both were fitted on the doors and have only holes to suit these mirrors, only other time Ive seen a pair was on another red SI 240. They have made in Japan on the base and are made of metal, do you guys think it came original?

Definitely aftermarket.

That's a pair of 'Napoleon Auto Mirrors' - early 1970s vintage.

Illustrated top right in the mirrors section from this 1971 ad in a Japanese magazine:

I have something similar but not quite the same. Aside from a bad color match and the asymmetrical mounting by the PO, I like the look of them.

1600 Yen, eh? I assume that was the price per each.

Those aftermarket parts are great! I didn't realise back in the 70s they were doing bonnet scoops in Japan. You don't really see that anymore... I guess most of the cars being modified like that didn't really survive.

I have a copy of the same mirror (first post) for my roadster. I would like one more for the other door...

Weren't those (in the first post) designed to go on the fenders?

The mounting hardware looks like the standard door mount.

Here's a cod close-up for the hard of herring:

I love the look of bullet mirrors. Alan you have eagle eyes they are Napoleon mirrors, not sure if this would have been a dealer fitment or not it appears to be the only ones on the car.

I have seen footage of Peter Brock racing his GTR XUI in the early '70's with this same mirror, I noticed the destinctive block pattern.

Alan,

Thanks for the closeup!

Oh, and,

so long and thanks for the fish!

Has anyone found a knock-off or aftermarket mirror that is similar to the original chrome-style mirrors? New ones are a bit stekep, there must be something out there thats close.
