Vixen S2 back window and wheels
Discussion
Heated back screens are M, vixens were clear and un-heated. unheated are rarer and go for £500 plus if you are lucky, Perspex from a number of sources at about £250 - £300, Some jokers want upward of £800?
If you are talking wheels I am assuming you mean the std type, have a look on e-bay a company in lancs is doing them on an exchange basis for £200 for 4
other than that 6j x 15 minilight type are approx £90 ea.
Tec del minilite are best. Compomotive will sell you a Triumph TR6 fitment which fits but will have to be spaced on the rear to prevent the tyre running too close to the bottom pivot bar, especially if its a vixen S2 with 2 sets of springs and dampers. don't believe them when they tel you the TR6 is also a vixen fitment. They are different.

Neil,
Vixen screens were also tinted.

In moving recently I found paperwork relating to the HRW as options and its a fact that all HRW were tinted, and the option appears to be on an M Series rather than a Vixen's, BUT as with all things in the cross-over period of 71-72 when both cars were made anything was possible, I do not recall seeing the squared-off rear version of the side glass in anything but clear glass (the only way of telling is to put a piece of white paper over edge of the glass) and it has to be presumed that a full set of glass out of production would be the same all around.

Hi John.
Yes thats correct, Vixen came as clear or sundym tinted as an option I think. The last few I have had have all been tinted. I think that the clear ones are now the rarest.
How's the S ? hope you have got plenty of miles in during the summer? Are you at Croft next wed, If so will meet you there, Geoff Parkinson and John Reid will be shaking down a rather nice tuscan racer.
Neil.

Hi Neil,
S is fine and got some miles under its belt - trouble free and miles of big smiles.
I won't be at Croft I'm afraid, new job and holiday on the horizon. Harewood Sunday in the Saga Lout and that's it for the year I think..
Have a good time at Croft, its a nice circuit and a well organised tarck day.
Cheers
John
