That 'leaping jaaaag' is in a non-recommended position as it could cause a pedestrian injury. I believe it's why makers no longer fit them....

There was a time when those types of mirrors were standard.
Hence the term wing mirrors.Oli.
I learned to drive on cars with wing mirrors (1970s) then drove cars for lots of years with door mirrors and in 2008 drove my classic that has (convex) wing mirrors, expecting them to be completely useless but was surprised how good they are, they aren't quite as far forward as on that Jag.
I kept the wing mirrors because they fill the holes in the wings and door mirrors would look stupid on a 1951 car.
