Marcos windshields "screens"

Marcos windshields "screens"

2009-08-31 by hide809rig169

I need a windshield for my Marcos #8001.  Is there a source in the "states" that have, or can obtain Marcos windshields for a reasonable price?  In January I posted on this site about a source I had found for individual and group buy windsields.  I had no interest, what are other Marcos owners (in the USA) doing for windhields?  Going through past posts, I have read where owners have shipped from the UK.  How expensive is that?  Since Marcos windshields are so hard to get in the "states" I would consider buying two.
         Thanks in advance,  Steve Vukobratovich

Steve,
The last windscreen I ordered from the factoy ran around $900 (15 years ago) including crating. I bought my latest from Garry Diver for around $750, but haven't been able to get in touch with him for the past 2 years.

This is a factory Quote from 2004
Rear Screen - Perspex £95.00
Front Screen - heated available only £475.00

We can only supply a perspex rear screen, unfortunately glass rear screens
are no longer available, and likewise, we can only supply a heated front
screen. The earlier standard unheated laminated screen is not available at
the moment, our suppliers want a minimun order of 150, which we cannot
entertain.

Please note that is you would like to order a glass screen, the only way we
can send it is to have it professionally crated, which will cost £285.00. It
is the only way we can send glass safely.

Glass rear screens are still available through the British Marcos Club. With shipping they cost 

me $695.00. I have a spare. The Company that made them shpped directly and packed them good. They had a couple of small suface scratche but really look great when installed.

Steve: I purchased the windows last fall. I would sell the extra one for the $695.00 I have in it. Shipping might be a problem. Where are you in Arizona? I ordered them through the Marcos Owners Club in England. They were made by a company named Pilkington. I had a long series of e-mails during the process but now can't find them. Again I am talking about laminated glass rear screens.
