Paul . . .
Be sure to compare apples vs apples. To the 159 pounds, one must add the crating & shipping costs, plus the cost of all the telephone calls to Colin, plus the cost of going to the customs warehouse to get the crate and truck it to Aurora. Not to mention the almost one year it took to actually get the windscreens.
What is included in the Marcos Heritage price? Or, what more do you have to pay on top of the 375 pounds to get a windscreen in your garage?

Jeff,
Marcos Heritage want 375 pounds for a front screen that cost me 159 pounds through the Marcos Owners Club. I'm curious to know what the comparable costs of a glass rear screen are, though I shudder at the thought. It brings to mind the cost of toilet seats for the US Military.

Hi All,

Here is the answer I received from Marcos Heritage regarding Marcos glass.

It appears that both the front and back glass will fit all models (with some work). It also appears that Rory can supply them as well.

Should we now contact both Pilkington and Rory to get a price comparison?

Dear Jeff Caraway,

Thank you for your e-mail. Sorry for the delay in replying, we are extremely busy at the moment!

Regarding the glass situation, the screens are copyright.

All federal cars that went to the States in 1970 . 1971 were fitted with glass rear screens. The glass rear screen was introduced in the late 1970's and I have seen them fitted in an 1800 and a later 3ltr. The glass rear screens should fit the other cars, but we cannot guarantee it. As you can imagine the cars are all different and they can vary quite a bit.

The front screens are the same for all models, and the heated screens were introduced in 1988 / 89.

If you are interested in a quantity of glass, we can do you a very favourable deal.

Please advise what sort of thing you require, and we can get some prices to you.

;

Kind Regards

Rory

Marcos Heritage.
