I am not sure how accurate a side mirror you want, but the side mirror used on the CMP was a non-chromed version of the mirror used on the MG TC sportscar and other prewar British automobiles. Chromed versions of these are still readily available from a number of sources on-line and have the four small screws on the back plate for disassembly and replacement of the mirror glass if it breaks.

Prices vary wildly, as does the quality of the mirror glass. The one original CMP mirror I saw was a smoke grey curved glass and these tend to be on the high price end today. They can also be found in clear curved glass, smoke flat and clear flat glass. The flat glass are cheaper and the cheapest of all are typically a crimped sealed unit that you cannot take apart if the glass cracks or breaks (these have no screws on the back side).

Best regards,


David
