Rover P6 Series 1 V8 with the super rare Triplex Glass roof

Just wondered if anyone would like to see a few pics of the fabled triplex glass roof. I have one on my Series 1 V8, wasn't original to this car, I had Clive Annable cut a hole in the roof and install it a few years back. Wind noise is quite bad, but who cares, it looks so cool!

It was an straight forward Ebay Motors find! If memory serves it was listed as part of a Series 2 2.2 SC car. I just messaged the guy when the auction ended and said could I purchase just the triplex roof and he agreed!

Wasn't an almond car in London by any chance?
 
There's one up here in the north somewhere, they look awesome.

When you say it's cool James, how is it on a hot day?

Missed that. Only ever look at individual component parts, never at whole cars. :rolleyes: :hmm: Welcome along, by the way.

Yes Chris I think it was off an almond coloured car. I never actually saw the donor car as the owner took the roof (including the actual triplex bit) and sent it straight to Clives place for fitment to mine.

Well yes it would be warm in there on a sunny day, which i guess is why as originally fitted they had a zip in internal textile ceiling!

Thanks for the welcome! Its a bad habit, but I'm usually looking at what other classic Rovers are out there. Well If anyone ever has an urge to own a triplex roof you know where one is now and for the right money I might at some point be persuaded!
 
The green V8 belonged to Bob Gardner years ago, along with JXC 8C & the convertible.

I haven't heard of him for probably 20 years, so I don't know the position now.
 
the convertible.

I know the person that had the convertible, and he must have got it over 20 years ago, but I'm not sure if he still has it, as I haven't seen him for probably 10 years.

Incidently, I've never seen a perspex roof other than in pictures.
