Do a search in this forum for "Stadium Mirror" as there have been several up for grabs and you might find one easier by name. Cheers.
Are these too new?

Fitted one in 1967 and found it useless (for average or tall drivers - couldn't see a thing) and got rid of it.

I can use the driver's side one, but no chance of seeing anything out of the passenger one

I think proper door mirrors are essential for driving on modern roads and motorways....far better to be safe and see that car/motorbike/cyclist in your blindspot before you change lane....and relying on looking over your shoulder is not an option once your neck muscles get older!
The factory period 'Tex' door mirrors look fine on any 1970's Mk3 onwards Mini and the mirrors that fit on the sliding door window glass seem a good option on earlier Mk1/2 Minis with no drilling of holes needed.

I have this one from Somerford Mini which I think is a good copy of the old Stadium mirrors and I’m very pleased with it, bit expensive @ £48 you can get much cheaper but doesn’t look as good in my opinion.
I actually bought two thinking I could put one each side but it doesn’t work so I have a spare brand new never out of the box one that I could sell you - pm me if you’re interested.
