The maroon Ruby appears to have a metal sun roof (unless it was filled in, like many were).

Yes I have come across this fault a number of times, mainly with cheaper replacement parts.

A flat metal sheet has the edges covered with aluminium extrusions fastened with small countersunk screws and mitred corners. It is all spray painted along with the body.

Well, well. Replacement parts may well be the culprit here. A root through the spares collection turned up a box of old distributors that offered up an excellent treplacement that must be 40 years old if not more. And, hey presto!!

I think that mine may have been 40 years or so old, Hugh. They were always 'just there'. It had always run OKish buit starting had become worse and. eventually out of the blue, it just stopped working one day. Drove into my drive, stopped the engine, opened the garage door and the engine wouldn't start. This straight after a week away when we'd done 200 miles or so. New points set and it was like I'd fitted a new engine. Instant starting (doesn't even turn a full rev until it's off) and 300 miles or so in Scotland this last mid year running better than it's ever done. Moral: Fit a new set of points.
