Earlier this summer I went to look at a Mk2 Ruby that was for sale; it had been imported from New Zealand and displayed the same features: bumpers and leather seats associated with a De Luxe model, but with a solid metal roof. I didn't investigate too closely, but my impression was that the roof panel was steel, and displayed all the hallmarks of having been fitted from new - I was convinced the rooflining was the original, and it showed no signs of having been modified to cover up a missing sun roof, nor did it have a smoker's hatch.
