Hi - have fitted parcel shelf with pull-up blind to keep sun off my leather - which cars had this fitted as standard, or was it option-only?

For those that don't remember the 80's these blinds were very popular, they were often used to hide 3 way Pioneer pod speakers that sat ON the back shelf, they also served to highlight the high level brake light with built in indicators and those rather tasteful stickers that had XR3i or whatever in broken red writing accross your back window....

Si's right mate, no car had the sunblind as standard, not even the SE, it was a Ԛ£104 option on all cars.
