old windscreen

[scarecrow]

I was looking through an old shed to day thinking about clearing it out when I spotted an old windscreen it's from an old Mercedes 190 the car would be about 40 years old now it had a colm gear change and full bench seats. just wondering what I would do with it. it would be a pity dump it as I don't suppose there is many of them around any more. Anybody got any ideas

Ebay have a "Classic Car Spares" section.

A piece of clear glass could make an interesting photo!

a car of that age will have a dedicated following by now.

find out if they got a owners club. you could make somebodys day. and make yourself a fortune!

There was a 190 Merc in 1950-60 known as the "Ponton". See http://www.mbzponton.org/
If you can identify the screen as coming from that model, I would suggest listing it on eBay Germany [ www.ebay.de ].
The current highest-priced 190 "Ponton" car listed there is 30,000 Euros.

Thanks for your help so far but I have another small problem I'm not sure if it's front windscreen or the back one because I found another one they actually look very similar and maybe they could even swap I also found an old door with the main glass and the little triangular one if I keep searching I could end up with the car I had a look true some old photos and found this picture

the quality isn't great it looks a bit like the 6 cylinder sedan but as far as I can remember it was only a four cylinder I might still have the taxbook for it somewhere
it also looks like this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W110
the roofline is similar
but the bumper looks like the older ones
