    Were the originals chrome or black?
    Different for different years?

    Mine are black too. Perhaps Robert or Gerrit can chime in and inform us on this one?

    Cheers!

    Mine are chrome. IIRC, back in those days the mirrors were dealer installed so there could be a lot of variation from car to car.

    Looking at the early UK magazine articles (i.e. Series 1 cars) most seemed to have a single drivers side chrome one.

    Later cars over here seem to mostly have a pair of Vitaloni Californias. My '74 car had a pair of hideous rectangular ones fitted when I bought it - very rapidly swapped for a pair of Vitalonis which suit it pretty well.

    My car originally had a single chrome mirror on the drivers side (1975).

    I agree with David and Dom. Early was single chrome, later was Vitaloni's. Mine had the chrome one replaced by a rectangular thing, car now has 2 Vitalonis. I think I can get away with it even at a concours since my car is one of those late Series 1, early Series 2 cars, it already has a bit of both.
    Not that 2 Vialonis is a big improvement over no mirror at all, they are badly positioned on the doors and do not have a lot of mirror surface.

    Gawd those are awful mirrors. I'd much rather have the Vitaloni's my Alfa has, but I think the big mirror's would look even worse.

    Oh well... Trade-off's

    Like everyone else has stated,Series 1 had one single chrome rectangular Cromadora Astro although I found another one and put it on the passenger side as I have a narrow driveway and need all the views I can get.Series 2 had the Vitaloni
