Cheers

Sorry,
i haven't found a Sprint screen, just wanted to know if the part was the same. You'd think that a car manufactured up to 1988 in Australia would have some supply of windscreens. It's more fun for me as the Sud was discontinued in 1984...
What a pain indeed, our cars must be a major headache for the insurance companies.
My solution might come from buying a wreck and salvaging the screen. i have also seen cheap sprints floating around on the carsale sites.
problem is i can't bear to throw away a good shell after only salvaging a windscreen  But who wants to buy a shell these days?
What a rant!
Good luck with your hunting
Cheers

ok this is completely off topic but since you mentioned the Alfetta GTV...
Just yesterday I happened to watch a little from "James Bond: Octapussy" and was very glad to see 007 get away from the german police BMWs with a ,brand new and shiny at the time, GTV6  wooohooo!! It looked SO great! |

Hi,
Indeed , James Bond needed a stronger car in order to escape from police... BMW police cars could not cope with the GTV6 engine ... 
After all the world was on James Bond's hands ... and a the proper car was essential

well if you do end up buying a secondhand sprint let me know -ill buy some bits off you! if you have the space i rekon you would at least make your money back buy selling parts on ebay. whatever pops up usually gets snapped up quick.... its stupid really isnt it - what was once a (somewhat expensive) car is now worth nothing. yet people still want to charge an arm and a leg for parts> 
my sprint should be worth around 8 or 9 grand but ill probly only get 5 if im lucky  |
