The windscreen looks like to be a Fiat 1100/103 TV one.

I'm really sorry but I didn't see these replies.
The notifications of new posts, which are usually very reliable, don't seem to have worked for these so I never looked..
Anyway, the answers would have been that I don't know if the builder built any other cars; and the windscreen is not from a Fiat!

Indeed it is.
Apparently the Henry J bits were from a 1952 model.
Well done.
