1964 … 230 SL Chrome interior mirror

[Rolf-Dieter ✝︎]

I have a request for a friend of mine. He plans to purchase a used chrome interior mirror, he needs the following measurements to verify that he will get the correct mirror.

- Width and height of the mirror
- Thickness of the mirror
- Distance between the retaining plate and mirror top

Perhaps one of you has a 1964 … 230 SL and can confirm this measurements.

Thanks in advance!

Hallo Rolf-Dieter,

Now I was looking in my archive but I do not have a good pic of the center rearview mirror.

There _is_ only one typical chrome mirror for the 230 SL and early 250 SL; it's the one with the short arm, the one of the W111 Coupés, not with the long arm that the W111 sedans had.

I don't have the exact measurements but can get them for you over the weekend. But only in millimeters, not inches, since it is a Euro version mirror ...

Here is a pic of the mirror, for your convenience.

Kind regards,
Achim

Tis beautiful with clear blue skies, around 30 degrees Celsius and I am taking the Pagoda for a long run tomorrow down to the big smoke.
