It may not be a good as modern mirrors but it works a lot better.
Speedway sells mirrors for oval track car they may work on a Cobra.

Some Cobras like the E-M, the dash is lower than the trunk (or the trunk is higher) so the stock mirror is to low. When you look into the mirror, on the bottom half you see the bulkhead of the car. You can raise the mirror 2" with a piece of aluminum that matches the size of the mirror base. Looks good and does not stand out.
Mirrors are a problem on a 60's English made car!

Have fun and see ya on the road |
The mirror can also be raised by using a longer stem that Craigs Cobras sells.

Also use the mirror that Terry sells from Dream Car Company that attaches to the wind wing. This works very well and is also a nice looking billet piece.
