Regarding a fold flat windscreen ... not as standard.
All 16/80 windscreens (somebody will probably correct me on this) were hinged at the top to fold outwards from the bottom to allow for de-misting of the screen.
They would also have had an external Klaxon wiper motor fitted (very few 16/80’s still have this arrangement).
Regarding the above post and the wiper arrangement, was this the same external wiper which was used on the later 3 litre and 4.5 saloons ? I have a spare wiper of this type but it doesnt seem to be made by Klaxon - ie I cant find any maker name on it. Mine is a long rectangular tube with a motor bolted to it. Is this the same ?
Thanks for any input.
