Windcreen

[pmessling]

I have an opportunity to get a brand new windscreen for sub £200 worth getting and storing for the future?

[ridds]

Is it the right size and shape? Seem to remember there were some dodgy ones floating around.

[ridds]

I'll have one.

[pmessling]

the person has both the newer ones and older ones with the differing sun strip size.

All are boxed with TVR part numbers

Peter in all seriousness mine has some delamination at the bottom and I plan to get a body off, retrim and respray done in a year or so.

If there's a Mk1 screen going for that sort of money I'm definately keen to get one.

[pmessling]

I've sent you an email Jamie

[sonnylad]

Im also really in need of an early one with the 50mm strip along the top, screen top to bottom measures 553mm.

[pmessling]

At the moment he's sticking with £200 which is still good. But with a few more you never know. I can pick them up should be enough room in the jeep. If people want to pm me can sort it all out.

[Byker28i]

there's both on gumtree at the moment

[pmessling]

That's the very one. Was going to try to see by buying several at once get it cheaper for everyone. As he's close to makes collecting them best option as its pick up only

Assuming your insurer lets you pick who you want to fit the screen is it not easier and cheaper to claim through that and just pay the £50 - £100 excess. Maybe I'm missing something ?

Assuming you just have a hammer accident first and claim then it's insurance fraud. If it's genuinely broken from a stone or whatever then that's fair enough and I've claimed myself on other cars previously for that.

Purely for myself, I want a spare Cerb screen because mine has a small amount of delamination at the bottom, and I intend to get it retrimmed and resprayed either next year or the one after when the body comes off to refurbish the chassis, and screens often break when removed.

Morally I couldn't claim that off insurance, and perhaps niaively hope that everyone else is as conscientious in order to keep classic car insurance to a minimum because I like to own several cars at once.

Has anyone bought the early cerb windscreen? I emailed yesterday morning about 8:30am to say I would like to buy it and had a quick response. I emailed back to confirm and have heard nothing. I guess somebody else beat me to it.

[Gazzab]

I'd like a mk2 one but getting it from reading makes it not worthwhile.
Agree on the insurance comment.

[FUBAR]

I'm in for a Mk 1 screen too as I've always had some delamination at the bottom of my screen and it gets on my not inconsiderable moobs. Even better if it helps to push the price down

[pmessling]

I'm heading there tomorrow to pick one up for myself so wil find out how many of each he has. Ill ask whether he can arrange delivery for people further afield. Or delivery to myself and I could arrange for them to others.

Sorry guys the early Cerb screen is now sold, and he only had one of each.

If any one wants spare bosch headlight glass as there getting rare these days he has a couple left along with early Cerb scuttle panel unpainted, the odd black box ecu's not sure which as never looked. loads more bits but mainly for T cars.
