Title: Flaminia Mirror? Post by: ColinMarr on 21 August, 2013, 06:25:18 AM Amongst my collection of odd spares I have found an interior driver’s mirror that I think might be from a Flaminia – see photos. At one time I think it had been fitted to my B20, but it’s much wider (20cms) than an Aurelia’s and I never used it.
Please does anyone recognise which car and model it comes from? (Also attached is a photo of my old B20 in its racing days where the big mirror and wrong can just be seen.)

Title: Re: Flaminia Mirror? Post by: ColinMarr on 22 August, 2013, 05:50:45 PM Thanks Richard, Looks like it's not Flaminia. I thought it might have been because quite a few of the parts on my car were from a Flaminia. Tim has suggested that it might be from a Flavia Vignale, but I don't remember the Flavia one having a spur for fitting a rubber steady against the windscreen.

Is rectangular, chrome with a big dipper flap and has ribs on the back (like the first pic in RF post). They all have 2 hole fixing and stems just like the first photo but each model had slightly different stem length and angle, so they are not interchangeable.
The Flaminia mirror type was a popular mirror of the time, I have seen then on Ferrari, Maserati and other Lancia models Title: Re: Flaminia Mirror? Post by: lanciab20 on 14 November, 2013, 10:20:52 AM I am looking for an interior mirror for my PF Flaminia, same pattern as the rectangular chromed mirror in the photo. The spring inside the mirror which facilitates the dipping has disappeared. I also have two door mirrors which are not a pair (though it took me a while to spot that!). I do not think door mirrors were fitted by the factory, but they are certainly useful. What mirrors have others fitted?
