I've got some sympathy with this view. Door-mounted mirrors were never a good idea. I blame Starsky & Hutch and Frank Cannon, and all those other early 1970s US shows where we first saw door mirrors. Whatever happened to good old uk wing mirrors?


Much smaller field of view from a wing mounted mirror.....imagine what you would see if standard rear view mirror was mounted on the tip of the bonnet.

I'm guessing the change came about because of safety reasons. I do agree wing mirrors look good though.
