Jacky Ickx famously wore one, I can't find a picture easily but I expect some in depth searching of his name will find one.

EDIT - OK, spell his name right in Google and you find it

IIRC--slowly over his glasses. I had a pair of glasses similar to his and they didn't stick out very far.

Hmm,

I think that Bell design would be like wearing a bucket on one's head. Seriously off putting. I suspect John W went an awful lot faster after he changed it for a more traditional design.
