personal preference dictates which flares.... cheap 'n' nasty, classic cool, fat & over the top....

clearly I like the standard clubman S flares ;)

Umm, I just did a Google search for 70's Flares and found the picture. It was from a Hire Company though. http://www.shop4fancydress.com

Oh Bill
Do announce to the world that you are doing something illegal and with a photo to show and help identify the car.

Some forum members wisely do take safety issues seriously and are in a position to do something about it.

Think about what you write publicly please.

Now back to your original question question.....

The type of flares required will depend on the usual factors, Wheel Offset, Spaced or non-spaced drums, Disk Brake Front etc.

The bast way to determine how wide they need to be is to put the wheels on and see how far out they protrude. Then you'll know what your looking after.

Once you know how wide they need to be just contact the usual Mini Parts places and see what they have available.
