To hard wire it, run the cable through the headlining for tourer, or under carpet for the saloon. I use an interior mirror monitor, it is a mirror when travelling forwards, and a monitor once revers is selected.

Thnakd for this info, a lot to take in. Planned to fit an original Hiline satnav for originality but might rethink and go the Navell way. Postpone til next year I think but hopefully meet other members at meets to further discuss options.

Also use this search rather than the forum search which is fairly useless:

I know others have done this but trying to find appropriate links through the forum is not easy. Currently no satnav is fitted but I intend to fit either an original set up or a modern (Navell?) unit, or could a dash cam be configured to work in more than one mode?
I'm open to any suggestions, but I don't want to disfigure the car. I have the only 2,5 Club SE tourer in Arden green which I'd like to look after and a very low milage Connie 2 litre saloon, both of which I'd be happy to upgrade but not ruin in the process. Not so worried about my daily driver KV6 tourer or spare KV6 connie saloon, though both these are in good working order and are in regular use.
Open to any sugestions of neat and practicalable arrangeemnts. I might add that although I'm not an expert on electronic, 50 years work on other Rover models would hopefully make the job prety straightforward for me. Looking forward to comments

Moderators - please move to a more appropriate location if deemed necessary but PLEASE tell me where you've moved it to other wise I'll never find all the wonderful coments!

Thanks to DorsetBob, I found you can buy a very good quality chrome camera with a metal casing that really suits these cars.

This is the one I chose, its the one on the left in this photo HERE...

When you connect the wire for the rear camera to the reversing light, engage reverse it shows on the Mirror.

I had one of those fitted - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNMsw6nl3xM - I thought it was pretty decent. Obviously you lose the auto dimming mirror, but the monitor mirrors are half way between a dimmed and not anyway so no real issue.
