Good afternoon.  Does anyone have a picture of the  Aston Martin DB3S driven by Peter Collins in the 1955 Mille Miglia, race number 702?  There is a side view of the car in Anthony Pritchard's "Aston Martin: a racing history" but I am looking for a head-on view if possible.  I am trying to make out the windscreen configuration on the car.   Any help would be welcome.

There is a front three-quarter view in the Chris Nixon Palawan book on the DB3S.  I will send you a scan if you PM me an email address but it looks to me like a standard DB3S screen of the time, wrapped around the drive and tapering away at the sides.
