A variety from here, not cheap though.
If you sit the pointer on the description, you get a small picture.
If you click on the description, you get a large picture.

I don't recognize any of them I'm afraid, so it may well not be what you want.

Thanks Old Yellar, the ones I think I've still got on a shelf somewhere aren't the real thing then.

I am surprised that you say that Neil as I prefer wing mirrors some distance ahead.
With them some distance ahead, I only need to move my eyes to look in each mirror so I spend less time not looking at the road than I do with door mirrors.

With door mirrors, I have to turn my head, which means my attention is diverted for much longer.

I must admit though, I do not like flat mirrors.
