Default Sunroof - standard or optional?

I'm aware that Motorsport shells dod not feature a sunroof for obvious reasons, but were they standard fit on the standard and/or lux trims? Were they all electric or were there manual versions too?

A lot of the standard trim ones dont have sunroof. I think only lux models had sunroof as standard.

mine isnt a lux and has a sunroof and is a manual sunroof.

i think if some one wants to correct me, that all apart from motorsport models had a sunroof, but only lux models were automatic.

no leccy windows on the motorsport one either, basically no option on it at all, for weight saving i guess.

Mines a LUX with a manual sunroof.

As far as I'm aware all LUX had a sunroof and the option was electric or manual and A/C was also an option regardless of wether a sunroof was there or not.

Sounds like everything was an option bar a very few little bits that desivers say the lux, normal and the motorsport.

I have seen the spec list from the original brochure, but dont know how the models came out out the factory before they were sold and the buyers chose the spec they wanted, but i guess with that, there would be alot of different spec'd cossied as some would go for all spec and some would go for half and some wouldnt bother with any etc etc.
