The top in question is a Webasto Sunroof. It rolls back in the
style of a 60's VW Bug( among others ). They work well but
IMHO they are butt ugly on a GT6. Just my 2 pence.
Happy Birthday Herald!!

I actually do recall seing this on a GT6 in one of the many books at
home. The story - if I remember correctly - was that it was not done
by Triumph, but that Triumph would send the car off the assembly
line, and directly to this after-market manufacturer, and you could
have it installed. Looked quite neat on the picture that I saw. I
will get back to y'all when I get home and check it out.
