Hi Eddie, When you say Coupe, do you mean the hatchbacks? Mine has problems around the sunroof area, but I don't think it's worth spending the money on. I'll do a localised repair with tissue and make good with filler. For what it's worth, I can't see much point in spending much money on the early cars, as their value is so low. I note that there's a really nice one that appears on Ebay/pistonheads etc for £1500-ish every so often, but never seems to sell.
Obviously, the Club's work on 003 is a different case, as I can see its historic value, and it would be nice to see it exhibited somewhere. But that's a one off, and I can't really see anyone seriously paying much more than £600/700 for any of the others, even in good condition. So the repairs are going to be cost-driven in the extreme! For what it's worth, the sunroof on my car doesn't look to be a very good design in any case, using a boot-seal around the lip, with consequent large gaps between the sunroof panel and the roof edge, which must be noisy. The clip doesn't look man-enough to hold such a large panel tight, and the 2-part hinges are a bit domestic. Sorry, but I'd advise anyone who wanted a sunroof in a saloon to fit an after market glass one - much cheaper, and easier, probably a better result, and more sensible in view of the value of the car. In fact, I have a couple in my loft that they can have if they are serious..! Sorry if I sound a bit negative (OK, very negative), but I'm afraid that I don't share your optimism, and it seems like a lot of work for a limited market. Now, a nice-looking dash moulding to replace the XR2 item, a bit like the one in my 2+2, but maybe a bit prettier. I could see a small, but useful market for that?? Dave.
