It’s quite a different shape I’m afraid Mike.

Hi,

Potters Jaguar tend to have these. They are often at Stoneleigh for instance. I also picked up a 2+2 one (not suitable for yours) from the US. Be aware that there were some changes to the latch over the period of manufacture so if you are a purist a rechrome could be better but there is risk of breaking the glass of course.

Thanks
Chris
