IIRC you need at least one interior and one exterior drivers side mirror, or exterior mirrors on both sides if you have no interior mirror / no clear view of the rear of the vehicle.

IIRC, you need two mirrors. They can be wing mirrors or one wing and one internal. You can be extravagant and have all three, though. However, I don't think mirrors should be compulsory as very few people seem to use them - especially when overtaking on dual carriageways or motorways.
