Yes it is a Sterling. Originally from England where it was called a Nova. General Motors did not like that, so the name had to be changed. _________________ Joseph

Yep, get some background on them from here..... http://www.sterlingkitcars.com/members_n_forums/
There have been some mild variations on the body over the years so they can have different front hoods, rear decks,etc. That first pic. is kind of weird....looks like they wanted to go offroading.... |

Looks like the windshield is out of it. It is available but expensive.
Difficult driving positions especially for anyone who is tall. |

I'd have to help locating parts through my contacts. Sterling Sports Cars is no longer as far as I'm concerned - no parts have been made or shipped since the company changed hands two years ago. Windshields may be able to be obtained through Pilkington. |
