Hi Dan
thank you for your help. 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.
