Jeff,
I am so sorry to hang you up for so long on answering this thread. As most folks know, I am very busy every day operating my mail order business, my service/restoration business, and doing property maintenance. At least since the covid outbreak we have closed the B&B!
This afternoon, after a weekend of property maintenance, I finally had the time to go over to the Sportiva I have in storage, and remove the right door glass. Please understand that I now have many hours in this project that I could have spent doing receiving for the mail order business. Or working on a restoration. All just so both of us, and any other Sportiva owners out there, will know the difference in door glass for these very rare cars.
I show 28 cars were officially imported into North America, and I also have one that was a self import. Hearsay is that two of the 28 have the door glass in the frame, the other 26 were loose glass.
According to my interview with the Moretti brothers years ago, they felt they made about 300 of all the Sportiva series for the world wide market, but could not remember how many of the cars that you and I know as a "Sportiva" were actually made. And they could not say how many had the "loose" glass.
They also made a couple of the "T" top cars, so all bets on the door glass size for those is off, as I have no samples.
And since I don't have a second series car, with the upright headlamps, I can't say if your glass would fit one of those.
Here is the photo I took today. Please note that your paper tracing (thank you very much for sending it!) is wrapped and taped on the back side to my early glass. I have aligned the top and front lines with my glass sample. Your tracing used a black sharpie, mine an orange.
As you can see the rear part of the early glass (at the top of the inserted picture) is 5 mm longer than the late glass you have.
The bottom (to the left) is 6 mm taller than your glass, and the front is 9 mm taller than yours.
Also you should note that the forward lower corner is a different shape.
I have no idea is your glass could be shimmed to fit what is obviously (to me) a larger distance on the early cars between the vertical channels. Or if the total height, or the different front lower corner, would be an issue.
Again, my apologies for taking so long in getting to this project..
And since all of my cars are "loose" glass models, I have no interest in buying your glass just so I can store it.
I am off to go put my Sportiva back into storage...
