Gerhard:
I have a '70 TR6 but am sitting at the computer looking at
an original advertisement I framed of a '69 TR6. The mirror
is chromed square (which I have on mine). FYI, Moss does sell these,
they are the only distributor I found that still does. Door mount
is correct.
Two sets of keys: One for door and ignition and one for trunk
and cubby box.
Tinted is not original, but I went with a slight tint from TRF.
Antena position is questionable. Mine is on the passanger side next
to the wind screen, but have seen other locations: driver's side, rear,
etc.
