Thanks, Don:) Two ‘Dolly Sprints’ on the front row and not a BMW 2002 in sight.

John, on the subject of Triplex and Triumphs, you and others might get a kick out of one of the cars on the grid for the Gerry Marshall Trophy race at this year's Goodwood 74th Members' Meeting, 19-20 March

A propos the recent thread on TR3 windscreens, I thought I'd post the
details below for the autox.team.net <http://autox.team.net>  archives - and anyone else who likes
collecting addresses.
Many years ago, I spent about a year working for a wholly owned subsidiary
of this company and they had all the necessary jigs for making screens for
old Brit cars. About a year back, I was told they still had those jigs but
whether this still applies is anyone's guess. They only make screens in
laminated glass (mandatory for the U.S.) but you could order:

Clear glass
Clear with blue top tint
Clear with bronze top tint
Blue
Blue with darker blue toptint
Blue with bronze top tint
Bronze
Bronze with dark blue toptint
Bronze with darker bronze top tint

If anyone out there has some really ancient Jap stuff from the 70's and
early 80's, they can also do screens for Jap cars in the Japanese blue. This
was a shade unique to Japanese cars in the day and largely came about
because of a unique chemical element in Japanese sand used in making vehicle
glass.
