I have negotiated a group price for new Triplex
clear Elan windshields. The price is US$315 from Pilkington Classics provided we can get 10 or more orders. I have received interest so far from at least ten so we should be in good shape. Clear glass is not normally available in NA (green tint is normally stocked). If you want to purchase a clear windshield for any S1, S2, S3 or S4 Elan this is what you have to do.
Contact Shawn Megown by either telephone 614 539 8430 or by e-mail at
[email protected] & mention my name Keith Marshall.
Your order must be placed by the 7th April to get this price.
Shipping costs are $100 to a business in the US or $150 to a private residence.
All taxes etc are extra.
Shipping cost to Canada would be approx. US$150 Shawn can confirm with you when you place the order.
Delivery is expected in June.
You can pay by Visa or Mastercard.
Several of you from CT have sent me e-mails showing interest. A suggestion for you is that if you live close you could have the windshieds shipped to one address & share the shipping costs.
For those in the Toronto area please contact me directly so that we can arrange to share one shipping container & the costs.
I have attached below an excerpt from a previous post from Gary Anderson which is of interest to S2 roadster owners. Please make sure you order the correct windshield.
ALL roadsters use the same windscreen, there is only one. If Matty has an issue its because the manufacture has changed the product. The S1, S2 and Coupe Master parts book lists the same screen part number for both S1 and S2 Roadster there is another for the then NEW (1966) S2 Coupe that was used until the Sprint went out of production.
Part numbers for the S1 and S2 roadster and the S2 Coupe from the parts manual are as follows
Illustration Part Number Decription - Height - Width
BA133 ---- 26B 029 --- Windscreen - 18.125 - 45.5 -- bottom corners are rounded - ROADSTER
BB140 ---- 36B 029 --- Windscreen - 19.000 - 46.25 - bottom corners are pointed - COUPE
The measurements were taken from oem factory windscreens as I write this, this is the overall length and height of the screen itself out of the screen frame just as a glass supplier would measure it.
new part number were as of 2004 were

I came across a windscreen sticker the other day that was affixed
to a new windscreen that I installed a few years back in my old S4 dhc. Triplex lists the part # HT0265 GN fitting Lotus S2, S3, and S4. I got beat on this 25 years ago when I ordered one for my S2 and
recieved one for the S4 windscreeen. So now when I go looking for S2
windscreen I tell them its for a S1. triplex part# for the S1
windsceen is HT0166

http://www.locanglass.com/contact.asp I got one there last Summer, but its was for a series 3. There are 2
kinds, one is HT166 in clear ($261) or tinted ($274) that covers the
S1 and S2 roadsters, just call it a S1 and keep the confusion down.
The other is for the later models, S2 coupe, S3 dhc and coupe and S4
dhc and coupe which is more money. The later windscreen has sharp
corners near the scuttle where the early windscreen (HT166) has
rounded corners and are easier to install.
The following topic is about screen frame differences for the S1 and S2, there is some but its not in the opening for the screen. There is only one roadster screen frame listed for both S1 and S2 Roadsters but there are two types, see Bill Gavins photos in the following topic. The part number listed for both is 26 B 702
