Are sunroofs rare on a classic?
 

As above, I have a factory metal sunroof, UK turbo MY00, without A/c.
But I dont see them on these too often, hence people wanting roof scoops.

So are they rare? I personally hate not having a sunroof.

Not massively rare no. They were a dealer fit option when new.

Seem to be more of wagons - wagon buyers like sunroofs? Owned two wagons with sunroofs.

I think most wagon owners must've specced a sunroof for the added amusement of their Labradors! :lol1:

Well I've been in many classics and non of them had sunroofs :lol1:

Saying that I've never been in a wagon.

I used to have one on my old uk classic saloon but haven't seen many other saloons with them installed.

I used to see a wagon alot with one, but that was a glass roof. Where as mine is a metal one.

Mine was a colour coded metal roof that could be just popped up open or fully retracted back.

I have a my93 wrx import with an electric sunroof:thumb:

RaRHS! :thumb:

personally i dont like sunroofs, they must compromise rigidity.... am i bein anal??? HA!

did they do the SL (sunroof/Leather) model in uk classics??

Very rare
At the Nbo I think prehaps 10 in 200 Classics
Was £1100 option in the nineties

correct,a steel sunroof would never be a dealer fit imo,

seen a handfull,mainly wagons,two saloons,

Don't know if it was an SL as you put it but my uk turbo did have factory leather aswell as the factory sunroof :wonder:

so rare I'm thinking of doing a roof swap to replace my dealer fit glass version with a factory metal version :freak3::thumb:

You do like to make things harder for yourself :thumb:

I have thought about it, as I've never been happy with my accident damaged shell, so have thought about a re-shell. If the donor didn't have a sunroof, I'd want to put one in. Which is what prompted me to ask, as I dont see them much.

no pain no gain :thumb:

Anyone can show me a pic of sunroof switch looks like on a Subaru Impreza turbo uk 1997 I just bought the car and no switch so I don’t know what I’m looking for

Mines a 93 import
 

I've got a dealer fit glass sunroof and dealer fit leather, think the original option was a sunroof or air con, if you wanted both the sunroof was fitted in the UK.

Like almost everything on the UK cars, sunroofs were an expensive extra option.
And we never got things like rear wash-wipe, folding mirrors, decent brakes, etc.
