[Spits] Old Spitfire windshields??

[Andrew S. Mace]

 Perhaps I'm not one to offer Clark advice, as I still have many, many Triumph
bits he "cleared out" decades ago! :)

That said, I would hang onto the glass if uncracked and relatively
scratch-free. As for the frames, if they are straight and rust-free, I'd also
hang onto them. I've managed to make a couple of restorers quite happy in
recent years with straight and rust-free early Spitfire windshield frames!

Is it worth keeping old Spitfire windshields/frames?

I just threw out 2 cracked (due to storage for decades) ones.



I have one roundtail version out of frame and several in the frame.

(and a bunch of doors, boot lids, etc)
