I do believe that is the sorry shitbox that Pete and I rescued from a Rasta somewhere in West London a few years back. Horrible piece of scrap, a 3.0CS Auto.

No, definitely not. That did not have a vag or a sunroof and was not a K plater. It was a hundred sovs with a MOT though ! :D

As a shed clinging onto a bent MOT, probably 3-4k. These are in demand for racecar builds and CSL 'recreations' The factory sunroof is not ideal but probably the least of it's issues ! :)

The FACT it looks like that is a good clue !

Re the roof. Vinyl roofs were all the rage in the 70s. Putting one on an E9, even in 1972 was an unforgivable crime and the fact it still wears one today is very unusual.
Second thougths, it is probably structural and nobody dare remove it ! :)

I'm pretty sure Park Lane used to offer vinyl roofs as an option back in the day. It looks hideous.

And what's going on with the rear valance!?
