had a heated screen on my 1.6 2002 petrol focus, were great for de-icing, but did have a problem with some of the wires failing in the windscreen. This used to cause frosty bands of window running vertically down the screen. Like an earlier poster, I used to wonder why my sons BMW X3 only had air con.
Caterham 7's have them as well.
I'd guess they use a stock windscreen from a more common vehicle. Like so many of their other bits.
It's a bit small. Can't think of what donor vehicle it came from if it did.
Can't think of any other production vehicle that has a flat glass screen.
The original Fiat Panda did.
It was copied by Seat.
True, not a current production car.
I remember the flat glass being mentioned in either the Fiat 'bumpf' of perhaps some review as part of the economy build features. We had one, well my wife did, which she loved. I wasn't a bad little car. Easy to work on etc. True it was from the era when Fiats suffered from rust. Some boy racer drove into her and wrote it off.
