I saw at L2B a mini with front windows where part of the window (at the front, where the slope that meets the windscreen is) was hinged at the top and bottom, so it could be rotated round. I don't know how better to explain it. I'll see if I can find a photo.

Anyway, what I want to know is, what are these windows and where can I get some from?

This will give you an idea to the part of the front door windows that are hinged.

Same style as Mg's well the midget and BGT anyway, possibly it was a custom job?

Was it the whole window that opened or was there a seperate rear section the winds down as normal?

There was a seperate back section, the front swivel part had a chrome trim all the way around.

Thats it!! So I'm looking out for Innocenti windows?! Hmmm, I'll just go to my local hardware store where I can get a right hand fuel tank, a chocolate teapot and some rocking horse manuere for my garden! :tongue:

Now really, are these going to be hard to find?

Am just off to MiniSpares to see if they do repros!

I think your more likely to find rocking horse do do, but I know of a man who's selling an Inno....

Or there were a lot of 60's / 70's motors which has quarter lights.... Imps, hunters, turimphs etc...
