I'm starting to re-restore my MGA and found these racing windscreens in a box. The bottom came out and one dropped to the concrete floor and cracked but what can you do. The glass can be replaced I guess. The two windshields were given to me by an older gentleman years ago who saw my MGA and said his son used to race them. His son was long gone (he had wrecked his car) but he had left two special racing windshields at his father's and did I want them. They were two different sizes and shapes. I said yes and they have been in a box for decades. What are they? Does anyone know? Are they for an MGA or for an Austen Healey? I'm guessing then AH stands for that. Any information anyone could provide would be most appreciated. I will never use them but want to know what I have. Many thanks in advance and best regards. Dave

They appear to be Brooklands or Brooklands style Aero Shields.
I doubt they were specific mark but were always popular with racers.
