I followed Jack's suggestion to contact www.mobilewindscreens.co.uk and had immediate and detailed response from Phil Lomas who is Director and General manager of Company. He said:-
"We have managed to find the original glass tooling for the post 1984 cars with the bonded front and rear screens. We can now supply heated and unheated front and rear laminated glass screens for these cars in bronze tint or clear. I believe that there are slight differences with the shape of the aperture on the bonded cars but you would be welcome to try a glass on the car if you are interested to see if it would fit. I have five bronze heated ones due shortly but could order a clear unheated glass if you decided that was the way that you wanted to go.

The rubber glazed front screens have a slightly different shape but we keep these in stock. The rubber glazed rear screens are not something that we have ever supplied but I know that Pilkington (formerly Triplex) have tooling for a glass rear screen for the rubber glazed cars. However, they have said that these laminated glass rear screens were never a good fit. I believe that a small number were made by the Pilkington factory in Birmingham in the late 70s but I have only ever come across one of these and that was installed in a car."

I shall follow this up but wanted you to be aware of the superb customer service I have received from these guys! I shall be posting a recommendation on the correct forum.

Now all I've got to do is identify which sort I've got!!!
