That really does look good on the move. Its size gives it quite a bit of the presence of a Mercedes 300SL.

But fix that that squeak!
Jokes aside, did your For Sale advert generate much interest?

The free carandclassic ad worked really well for me. You would need to be a little creative listing in the right section so it gets noticed.

I love the beautiful aerodynamic body, all swoopy curves, then, the barn door of a windscreen! No attempt at streamlining, obviously a reason for it. A gorgeous car.

Looks like it's possibly a modern addition for the comfort of the occupants, although quite why anyone would make it so upright (and ugly?) is anyone's guess.
Period pics show a variety of screens fitted, but this is the one from Moss's record breaking Mille Miglia win -
Much lower and more aerodynamic looking and, from experience with my Spyder, provides a similar amount of wind in the face protection to a low, full windscreen like you'll find on a Midget, 356 Speedster or early Spitfire.
Still a beautiful car though, perspex garden fence and all.
