Wow, great find! If you’re not planning to use it, let me know if you’d part with it for a reasonable price.

Many thanks!

My wife's '64 has the drill holes to fit one of these on the driver's side, but it was removed many years ago. Perhaps I should start looking for one too ;-)

Unfortunately it’s destined for my 60 Mk1, cleaned up pretty well

Nice work, and congrats! I’m sure it’ll look quite the part in your car.

Never seen any of those on a car. They look good quality. You would have thought they would have sold thousands if marketed through Halfords. Was price an issue?
Wouldn't mind some.

Re the vilosport conversion I saw a set just like that at a Gaydon event recently which attracted my attention. Appears a much simpler system than the - down, under the glass and up then across Radford mechanism installed with the Piper window motors. lol:
