Moss Motors carries a bullet style mirror which comes with an extended
base that has holes 3.5" apart as Part number 222-372. The majority of
British period car mirrors I've seen have holes much closer together
than that (1 1/2 inches or thereabouts). There are a number of American
style period mirrors with long bases that might also work but I don't
have any specific recommendations. I tend to lean towards Lucas, Tex,
or Talbot mirrors for my British cars as those were definitely common
period options, at least in the UK, and my Tiger had a Talbot mirror
installed when I bought it, so I tend to lean towards the bullet-style
mirrors for that car.
