Welcome to the club!

Production build date info is here: https://sunbeamalpine.org/production-build-dates/

Your VIN shows it was built the week of 1/4-1/8 1960. VINs made that week were B9002618-B9002824. Since your VIN is 10 less than the end of the range, it is likely the car was built on the last day of that week on 1/8/1960.

I'm not sure about sources for series 1 & 2 windshields at this point. Later series (3-5) windshields are available from multiple sources.

Victoria British did sell Series I and II windshields alot of years ago, but I do not know if they sold any to Moss.

There are supplies in the UK and Australia, they used to be available stateside.

Contact sunbeam specialties or classic Sunbeam and ask if they have leads.

There are member's here who would have ok second hand ones.

You need a screen for series I/II
