does anyone have an 'up close' shot of the 1/4 light windows at the front please? Think i've got a pair in my garage but not sure to be honest :roll:
Failing that i'll post a photo when i get my camera sorted tomorrow/over the weekend

1/4 Lights

Post by Editor » 3rd February 2006 - 12:48pm

Are we talking about 411/412 ? You're posting in the Type 4 Corner! Type 4 1/4 lights (small front door windows) are very rare - I think even Jane Terry has only seen one car with them - a German visitor.

Of course I may have remembered it wrong!

1/4 lights

Delicate look, raked back divider and a sharply raked screen, catch that fastens through glass - not a mainstreeam VW - Ghia maybe, Porsche Speedster? Nova? Austin-Healey Sprite? ;-)
They're too much of a mystery for me to comment further. If no go here, Practical Classics might help.

Some time back there was a 412 Variant with quarterlight windows for sale in Jakarta I think. I saved the pics and here's one below.
