Hi, Asad (and others), The dimmable rear-view mirror was part of the "L" trim version sold in most places outside of the USA. The 1300L and 1500L models differed from their "plain" counterparts by offering a package of 10 "extras" (some of which were standard on the USA versions). Specifically, the 1970 1300L and 1500L in Europe included:
= Two backup lights = Rubber bumper protectors = Dimmable rear-view missor = Padded dashboard = Brake warning light on dashboard = Mirror in passenger's sin visor = Locking glove compartment = Pockets in both doors = Ashtrays in both rear side panels = Better quality floor carpeting. So far as I know, any of these could be individually specified at the time one ordered one's car from the VW dealer, as each had an "M"-number (it stands for "Mehrausstattung" or "additional outfitting").

My old '69 came with that kind of mirror stock. I think it was an across the board change that year.
