For you, what is the best exterior mirror period look for a cooper S mk1?
some pictures?

This was always a popular Mirror on early Minis, fitted to the top of the screen pillar & if it's good enough for a Cooper S of this standard, I go with that. In fact my rally Cooper S had an identical one. I think it was called the 'Stadium Overtaker Mirror'.

Thanks Lord Croker

I've never particularly like Stadium mirrors because they protrude so much and I always seemed to clobber them in the garage. Maybe worth considering a bullet mirror bolted through the forward sliding window but the visibilty isn't great ! (not that I ever used a rear view mirror anyway !)

I bought this for mine:

There are large and small versions. Stafford Vehicle Components also do a repro of the Stadium Overtaker.
