Any rear view mirror will do really, just get special glue for glueing it to your windshield and it should be ok. you can even get a small emergency rear view mirror at automotive places for like a tenner with a rubber sucker thing.

There even used to be 'mirror pads' for stick on mirrors, don't know if they are still around
(they were double sided sticky pads) Hell, I reckon even the 'command strips' from those hooks would probably work...you can get just the pads in DIY shops here...)

I reckon mine is a Ford Cortina one, it has a 'dip' setting.

I reckon a lot of newer car mirrors would work.
