You'll find that the window frames come apart into two sections, the bottom section is the larger U shape piece, this parts from the top rail and any broken glass can be removed quite easily. I found that clear Perspex from B & Q was the correct thickness and made an ideal substitute for the glass. The van I refurbished some years ago was a 1962 Sprite Alpine. There are a number of breakers where parts can be found, a lot of which were generic to most of the Sprite range: Major, Musketeer, Alpine, Cadet, 400 also the Europa and Fairholme ranges. All these were built at the CI works at Newmarket. Good luck with the project.......Mick

With ordinary glass in the windows just be careful when manoeuvring the van. When I was a kid in the 1960s I was helping my Dad push the van and my hand went straight through the toilet window and made quite a mess of my wrist!
