    Interesting that the glass is curved. My van and my mrs hz van have standard flat glass...likely an aftermarket fitment

    Pilkington made glass for everyone back then, there's no way now of working out how or when they were fitted or by who.
    Curved side glass from the factory ( GMH dealer fitted) is something that I don't recall ever seeing so I'd be inclined to think that the windows are after market or replacement glass for original windows that may have been broken.
    I'd like to see some photos.....
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!

    I have the factory fitted windows from your van Rob, they were all curved the same as the factory fitted windows in my HJ. You asked for photos......
