I have a pal, who along with another, are building 2 MG M Type Sportsmans Coupe

Such pretty cars of which, sadly, very few remain.
My pal has got to the point where they are pondering the construction of the sliding roof and he got in touch as they are known as a 'Pytchley' roof and he wondered if I could help.
Looking at the photos he has provided from a survivor, it struck me that the 'recessed' approach looked rather like that of an RN
I've pointed him at the drawings we have on the Archive web site which they have found very helpful as they have no original car to go on (not without pulling one apart, anyway). I have suggested to them that if there was an RN owner with a car in restoration that they could look at to see how the roof was constructed, that might help them a great deal. One of the chaps lives in Solihull and the other in Surrey. The Surrey resident is more than happy to travel to look at a car..
Can some kind soul offer to help a member of the opposition in this worthy project?
many thanks
Hugh
