coupe with vinyl roof

[tonys]

The attached link states that this particular coupe was one of a few supplied with a vinyl roof. I know Rover produced a few in non-standard colours, but did any actually come out of the factory with a vinyl roof?

I haven't seen one before and don't recall reading about it.

This coupe has obviously had work done at some time, but I was just curious about the roof. Vinyl was certainly a very popular roof covering when this car was new, but is it a factory special order, or aftermarket?

I doubt that it was done at the factory. A number of options like the Webasto sunroof were fitted by the dealers on request of the customer. If this car was fitted with the vinyl roof from new my best guess is that the dealer would have brought someone in to do it.

I guess this means that my Mk 1 with Vinyl roof is not original either, but it is pretty!
