Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) rearview mirror

Slightly different idea from me, I went with an early MGB rear view mirror partly to follow my backdating theme and partly to follow Monty's brass/gold on green aesthetic.

These are available new from all MG parts specialists and are nice quality.



I did need to source new/old stock chrome top and bottom brackets and shorten the rod, but once fitted in my opinion the setup really looks the part in the back dated club racer themed Monty.



It's practical too, while I prefer the old school look of a low mounted rear view mirror there's no denying a high mounted mirror helps visibility if I'm carrying luggage on Monty's rack, but because the early MGB mirror is rod mounted I can simply loosen the nut and slide it up and down the centre rod at will.

And the MGB fittings are chrome, so they add a little classic sparkle





And compliment the Trad Morgan interior perfectly.



I think it works well both from a practical point of view, and aesthetically too
