   "Reply received this pm (21/1/08) from "CCS Windscreens" in Chelmsford, Essex, UK.
   
   Re. AC 428 Windscreens:
   
   "We are able to supply these screens but we are unable to arrange delivery/export. The cost is £285.87 plus VAT for each screen and we would be able to supply ONE for the end of February and further ones for the end of March. We would need payment for each glass prior to us ordering as they would all be special orders, and once placed would have to be honoured, in full.
   
   We are based in Chelmsford, Essex.
   
   If this is of interest, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Classicus,  door handles are Maserati Mistral, not Alfa Romeo. Same thing for the side window trim and front quarter windows.
   Also Kirkham also makes stock suspension bits in addition to the awfull billet aluminum bits.
