Hi Richard
               The Renault Dauphine rear screen was for the Goggo Dart.

Indeed it is and not the first donar that springs to mind for a German based car in Australia.

I think it more than likely the Brutsch screen is borrowed from something production. That may or may not help. The Reliant Sabre/Sabra lot were not ecstatic about sharing a windscreen with Frisky at one time. Worse still is to find it is a screen of some ridiculously expensive Dellahye or something.

Pilks are looking for work at the moment and seem to run out at about £1,500 for tooling and then a unit price for each screen. Probably about £200 for one your size.

No idea on Carr's but from memory it is quite narrow so again could be a rear screen or indeed a boat or early aeroplane. If they had plans for numerous production then it is more likely they would have tooled up for production instead of borrowing an existing screen.
