In years past when these cars served a lot as daily driver transportation, most people wouldn't think of disabeling use of the convertible top, except for racing or possibly for a fair weather car in warm climates. In recent times with high grade restorations abounding, and many of the really nice cars being reserved for fair weather use only, the Sport Windscreen has become a more popular accessory. It's still not all that practical for a street use car, but plenty of people think it just looks neat.

"I made one for my MGA last year from an old windshield frame and I use a perplex glass. It's not so hard to cut, but I just follow the lines of the cowl. I have 7 inches at the center. I just need to send the frame to chrome and that's it. I like to drive my MGA with that sport winshield, it looks very cool".
