Those of you with early T34s have surely heard of the rare “cat’s eye” side mirror. This mirror has an angled upper section that cuts down to give the appearance of a cat’s eye. This mirror is authentic to all 1962 T34s (Model 343’s only) and is difficult to find in good condition. Other 1961-62 Type III models also featured this mirror, and since they had right-hand-drive models from the beginning, the right-side mirrors were also “cat’s eye” mirrors. However, these right side mirrors were never known to exist (except in literature) until one showed-up on eBay last year!

Originally fitted to a Notchback from Norway, Lee had it converted to the T34-threads and mounted it to the RHD T34 vent frame that he got from Clive in England. If a 1962 T34 would have been ordered with dual side mirrors, this is what it would have looked like. Matching dual “cat’s eye” side mirrors on the third oldest existing T34 in the world ... rarest of the rare.
