I was thinking of the old British Armstrong Whitworth series of airplanes, and I do know that an Auster IS an airplane because I once owned a flew one, a 1946 Auster MkVI. Perhaps you mean an Austin?

According to my friend who owns the Armstrong Sidley it is the windscreen that is called an "Auster" and he is trying to find out how to fit this windscreen to the back section of the car, he does not believe that it fits onto the back of the front seats, but believe that there maybe some bar/mechanism running from the left back door to the right back door something like a slide rail that these windscreens are somehow attached too and can be pulled back towards the rear seated passengers to protect them from the elements.
