I believe this electric one was available for LX.

 

Back when I was in school I recall hearing a story of a guy whose dad worked for Holden and had those, A/C and electric windows in his Torana but if they came on cars for the gen. public, were they an option you had to request when you ordered or were some released with them?

I just found another pic that Leakey put up years ago. it might be a Premier mirror rather than Torana.

Yeah more than likely.

 

The old school wreckers, etc. would just about always refer to LX SL/R mirrors as GTS mirrors and the steering wheel as GTS too but I owned an SL/R so it was always an SL/R wheel to me.

For the W.A. road registration check will I need to fit a passenger mirror?
It didn't have one and doesn't appear to have had one and from this thread I figure it is this way from the factory.

In Qld, on right hand drive car's you must have the driver's side mirror & the internal mirror, on left hand drive car's, it's all 3. Gary.

You will likely find that "Goods Vehicles" must have all 3 as well because the interior mirror can often be obscured by the load.

 

But that doesn't really apply to a Torana!
