Hello everyone.

This isn’t really a MPG question, but more a search for information from the global collective we have here.

I am restoring a Triumph TR7 and came across a picture of a “dealer installed” option that was offered in 1976. (I have a 1976 Victory Edition) It was installed on what was called a Southern Skies TR7. It was a top rail sliding sun roof. If I could ever find one (very rare from everything I’ve read) I would add it to mine. The reading said that this style sun roof was popular on some European cars of the time, but don’t list any makes other than the London Taxi.

Does anyone here have any experience, knowledge, or other information on these types of sun roofs? Pro’s and Con’s, etc.

I’m always looking to learn more.

Thanks
