Those are VITALONI Sebring Mach 1 mirrors. I've seen them available in a black paintable finish or in chrome, as in the e-bay link below.

Starting price is too high, IMO. I've seen these go for a lot less than the starting price in the past. Just do a search for the Vitaloni Sebring Mach 1 and be patient.

I was considering mounting a set of the chrome ones on my 72 after my Jaguar Racing Green repaint, but I decided on a pair of OEM mirrors instead.

Those mirrors look cool but the location is strange since the window post would be in the way. On the passenger side, the installation would be okay there though.

Those are one off proto mirrors I made for the 914. I had been selling them for 911's, since the mid 80's. I took molds from a pair, on 935 race car, late 70's. I stopped production several years ago, and had this one pair that are designed for the 914. They do an excellent job of showing you the blind, or being past spot. On the driver side, you sight down the egde of the rear fender. The passenger side is helpful. You don't see the post in either. The glass is pirated from the Italian mirror. Thats all, "my" mirrors.

What glass did you use for yours? I havent been able to mount mine yet, and I already broke the glass on one.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) If you dont mind posting some moounting photos of yours.. I layed mine out but dont know yet how to mount them permenatly, think they look great though.

All of those mirrors evolved after the actual race teams fabricates there own. They were very crude, and the left was seldom the shape of the right. I had mide made in US, and Asia. The final evolution, is the back of the mirror is nearly solid, flat service. You then silicone to vent glass. It can be reoved with pressure & razor blade. The back side I cut black, sticky vynil, to cover the mirror/silicone mounting.
The 935's are much larger than mine, and will need allot of tweaking.

I admired it Sunday. And when I was there, a lot of people were walking around it admiring as well. If I would have known who/where you were I would have given you some response. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm sorry we didn't meet. I have put allot of thought & hours of fiberglass work. My goal is light & aerodynamic "as possible" with a 914, and BIG brakes.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Several of us attending Sunday were hoping the owner would be available; there was a lot going on. A least I got a decent picture and finally learned a little bit more.

I assume you did the custom front lid too; that's awork of art. Was it made from a mold ?
