It looks like you have an original set of aeroscreens on there, except for the brackets. The last set of those I saw go off on e-bay was for mega bucks! :eeek:

Art: Very nice screens, but not original TR issue. The TR aero screens have no stampings or other imbellishments on any part of the screen surround or brackets. But, these are very nice. I'd love to see the rest of the car, too. :yesnod:

Art,
I wish they were but they are the normal Brooklands. I purchased a thin strip of alloy (ace hardware) and sandwiched some old lower windscreen sealing rubber in place.
It does make a great dif with the wind and has a nice look.

It was the sealing rubber on the bottom that got me thinking they might be original. That's a good idea what you did, I may just do that with mine. :cheers:

Art,
Use a dremel to drill slowly as the glass isn't to far under the frame. Takes all of 20 minutes.

Hi Dale,

Tthe car in your clip seemed actually useless for nprwegian conditions due to it's narrow wheel dimensions.
I enclose a clip from here, displaying the kind of conditions we sometimes face, but of course with TRs we try to stay clear of snow this deep on a daily basis. Or at least don't ride top down when snow is falling heavily.
But truthfully, our summers are really nice, and the winters are mostly OK, but there are some tricks that come in handy:
- Rust proofing the underneath is not a bad idea.
- Winter tyres with studs are a "must" from November to April.
- Stacking some heavy sand bags in the trunk gives the car better traction when climbing icy hills.
- If the front is sliding out in corners, use the hand break to obtain the needed angle.

Looks like the US North country.
My unit jumped into Sandefjord in 1978 and we conducted joint operations in the area.
They allowed us downtown (small town) in our fatiques and the locals were really wonderful and hospitable.
I really enjoyed my visit to Norway.
It was summer/fall and the weather was fine thanks.
