I've been lurking on here for a while, looking at the cool cars you've got, so thought its about time I registered and said hello.

I'm from Wigan, UK and these are my dubs
55 Oval and 66 Ghia

If you're interested in seeing the UK scene, I've got a site I put my photos from shows on. Theres still loads to go on when I get round to it but you'll get the idea :)

Tell me pray--noticing the sunroof in your 55 does anyone in the UK make decent aftermarket folding sunroofs apart from Press Stud Paris that fit early's ?
Cheers , Al .

Hi Al,

The 55 has an aftermarket sunroof fitted (done long before I got it). Its a Britax one and is very good quality. Slides and seals nice and doesn't leak. Until I recently built a car port, the oval sat outside in all weathers and the roof never leaked..............and not a press stud in sight ;)

I'm not sure if you can still get them. Just found this site: http://www.donmar.com/OBSOLETE/obslt_sr.htm 
I think its the very bottom one so although branded as a Britax, it was made by a company called Donmar - if it is that one, then its discontinued :(
