AFAIK the 81 clubman screen is the same as a standard MK3 mini. All the usual mini suppliers keep them although they wont cover the insurance on delivery.

http://www.heatedwindscreen.com/

might be worth a look as they do cover damage in transit and they can supply heated screens as well.

Same as the back in a saloon. Minispares also do 'em 'n, if I recall, there's some info on their site. As it's a Clubby it probably has a sundym tint.

Heated screens take a lot of current. You'll need dedicated wiring from either the solanoid or battery to power it.

I wouldn't be without my heated screen.

MiniSpares will look after you with that one

 

Heated, Clear, Sundym etc, they accommodate  What you will find though is they charge I think £25  for the packaging, as it is packed in a box with lots of polystyrene.

 

You can get the £25 back upon returning the packaging, being a while since I had to get one in for someone, but that is what it was.

 

Your 81 Clubman is a Sundym.

That's news to me...... We charge a standard packing rate generally on screens

I would have a word with the chap who sold this to me, but it was about 6 years ago, so I don,t know if things have changed. I was told because it was irregular and required special handling, the cost for delivery was different This was Manners in Oldbury,(MiniSpares) and if I dug deeper, I could probably find the said invoice. If I did not return the carton and packaging in which it was sent, I would lose the deposit on the box and packaging.  I have no reason to make this up
