Windscreens
Looking for a Mark 4 coupe windscreen, I asked the question on the forum, does anybody know what the windscreen is from. One response (from Jim S) who reckons it is the same as the Mark 5 windscreen - Austin Freeway back window. Well, here are both cars. The jury is still out as far as I am concerned. What does everybody else think?

How old is bottom shot John, your hair is a touch darker. Great bonnet holders, didn't the Imp ones work very well?
There's also more of it. Triumph ones, not Imp, but yes they were a bit of a worry at times. That photo was taken at the very first Easter event in Mt. Gambier in 1973.
Any one who has lost a Mark 5 bonnet at speed thought the idea of straps a good one. My choice was straps or 4 hood pins as the bonnet was twisted as result of an accident and fibreglassing skills in the club were not so developed back then. My current 5 has pins and a reinforced bonnet. The Coorong road was so rough back then that one of the S.U manifolds also fell off and had to be repaired at the road side. How many Bollies were at Easter 73?
Loaded question. Only one, yours.
