Opening Front Windscreen - Optional Equipment

Has anyone seen one of these for sale?
If so, how rare are they and how much do they usually fetch?
I quite fancy one, just for fun - for that Daktari Maasai-Mara
Born-Free kind of look. ;D

Like that but I think it would suck in the UK!

I never knew such a thing existed. I bet they're not very
water-tight.

Water tight? Land Rover??
No, I doubt if they are. I wonder if the "Automatic Wiper
Lifting Mechanism" is just the action of the window shoving them
out of the way?

But you've got to bloody well try, Parksy! And think how handy
it would be when your screen mists up on a cold, soggy, summer
autumn morning..! :smile1

Very handy for moving planks and other long objects.

Think it was something some utility companies wanted for their
vans.
I know of some BPO Morris Minor Vans to have those opening front
windscreens.
Not very useful though..

Someone has told me that the option was used by Searls on some
Carawagons.

I've never seen one but it looks cool if only from an eBay RARE
sort of perspective. Useful for those frosty mornings if you
haven't got a heated screen. :smile1

To answer my own question, judging from the comments on here,
it's probably fair to say:
- [Ebay]very rare[/Ebay]
- An arm and a fookin leg.
