Can't say I've ever seen one

Weren't they dealer fitted options though... thus not on tags ?

There were no 'factory-fitted' sunroofs seen in HQs. They were available in HJ however.

 

There is nothing on any of the body tags to denote a factory sunroof.

Dr Terry.....just FYI...was reading some old doco regarding the HJ & Sunroof...looks like they offered it up, but then came unstuck with imported part delays and fitting issues, particularly at Pagewood....

 

Reckon a HJ with a factory sunroof would be thin on the ground?

 

Sept 74 - sliding sunroof no longer allowed as a factory option on LH.

 

Oct.74  -  they released the timing for the HJ rollout. The sliding sunroof was an factory option.

 

Nov 74 - advise dealers no sunroofs available on HJ until early 75.

 

March 75 - advise of delays with sunroofs for HJ.  Daily fitting rate is now 3  units.

 

April 75 - advise "slow improvement" with the fitting of factory sunroofs

 

May 75 - advise that Pagewood sunroofs are delayed as they need to be fitted "outside of normal production" / "off line"/ there are issues with fitment.

 

August 75 - Pagewood still experiencing appx 3 weeks delay re sunroofs

 

Oct 75 - possible short delays all plants for sunroof in HJ

As I said in post #3, "There is nothing on any of the body tags to denote a factory sunroof."
