Don't think it would have been factory fitted, more lickely would have been fitted by a specialist coach builder instead, but i do stand to be corrected if i'm wrong, would suggest you research coach builders that BMC used for specialist conversions, i know of two travelers that have been coach built, one for a Duke and one for Queen Mother (RIP).

There is this one with a webasto sunroof- i assume it is aftermarket, but i do not have any info on it as I only saw it at a show.[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]
