Personally the only real annoyance I have is the mirrors on these cars. Is there a different make/bigger type or mirror you can buy and easily fit ha?

Check the Telegraph supplement magazine back pages, they advertise those prescription bi-focal wing mirrors for old duffers, they were next to the add for "The Big Slipper".

I know what you mean about the mirrors, i have often cursed them for being too small but i really don't think i could bring myself to replace the originals, they are such a part of the styling of the car. How about a discrete reversing camera?
