MG MGB Technical - Vinyl roof on my gt

The factory never fitted a vinyl roof or a sunshine roof. All such things will have been put on at a later date. In the late 60s and 70s a vinyl roof was seen as a desirable sign of an up-market car and that is probably why one was put on your car at the request of a previous owner. Ford used to fit them on their "E" models like the Cortina 1600E and the Capri 3000E.

hi thanks for that does this mean when or if i decide to ever sell it that it will make it more desirable to buyers lol

Depends on the buyer. They are rare, from what I see, which I suspect means people don't like them.
