Default What Coloured tint has your S1 Got???

My series 1 (85 on C) windscreen is a bronze tinted version with a blue sun strip above. I'm after a brand new one, (resto project), had a search around on the phone and i can still get hold of two types listed for 1985-86 Escorts with a tint. They come in the bronze with blue strip (like mine) or a green tint and blue sun strip. Thought they'd all be the same but maybe some later ones had the green. What should they be? Cheers in advance

Standard is without the strip, mines has original glass all round with the bronze tinit but the winsdcreen was replaced and now has a tint across the top.

I like it though

Bronze tint with the strip. What my original screen was a standard and what I had put in as replacement.

Mine's bronze with a blue strip. Don't think it's the original screen but it was replaced after only a few months after it was registered according to the first owner, so it's been on since 1986.
