HKSZ Posted May 11, 2006 Share #1 Posted May 11, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted May 11, 2006 Share #2 Posted May 11, 2006 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: Alan T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Enigma= Posted May 11, 2006 Share #3 Posted May 11, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virto Posted May 11, 2006 Share #4 Posted May 11, 2006 1600 Yen, eh? I assume that was the price per each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfadog Posted May 12, 2006 Share #5 Posted May 12, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblake01 Posted May 12, 2006 Share #7 Posted May 12, 2006 Weren't those (in the first post) designed to go on the fenders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th-Z Posted May 12, 2006 Share #8 Posted May 12, 2006 The mounting hardware looks like the standard door mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSZ Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share #10 Posted May 12, 2006 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.
