THIS... is strange. (Doug would agree)

I am at a loss for words. Never seen anyone do this to a Jaguar. This has to be something a local dealer had done when sold new back in 04. https://www.ebay.com/itm/184713173734?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&siteid=0&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&toolid=20008&campid=5336658105&customid=
Just why?
And to think they are assuming this adds some sort of premium.

Interesting! Is that an Army vehicle under cover?
Vinyl roofs went out in the 70's. Common to Jaguar and Rolls Royce and other brands at that time, in the case of the Series 2 XJC I read the vinyl roof was because the body flexed enough to cause problems with the paints of the time.
Other than looks, the pictures suggest there's enough room for the River Avon to flow under the joins.

Hilarious. I suggest to add a V-shaped TV antenna on the boot. Might balance it out ![Wink](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Money doesn't buy good taste... it seems there's a stipe of "old people" that think simulated convertible tops are still a good thing. I recently saw a late model Nissan with a canvas roof ![Confused](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
Whoever bought that Jag should have stayed at the Lincoln dealer and optioned a Signature Series Town Car with gold trim package. Would have paid less.
My grandfather was one of those... his last Cadillac (97 Eldorado) had every imaginable JC Whitney add-on, pin stripe, "chrome" cladding, simulated convertible top added by dealer at purchase. Awful. He said it was "custom." Ruined a good looking car.

Can't say what happened here, but putting a vinyl roof or such on a car was once upon a time a common fix after a hailstorm. Still a perfectly good running and driving car, but the insurance would total it due to the cost of body work. Used car lots would pick them up cheap at insurance auctions, replace the hood and deck lid from salvage (because those can be unbolted), then install a padded vinyl or canvas top to hide the battered roof as it was cheaper than repairing the dents. If you could tolerate the style, it was a way to get a practically new car (and sometimes even brand new cars from a dealership) for a bargain price. After a major hailstorm in 1995, my employer at the time had white vinyl roofs added to about twenty five or thirty Dodge Spirit staff vehicles. They were embarrassing enough before the vinyl roofs tho.

lol. I see that. Maybe they are hiding something. Even if they are not they should have just removed them or stuck some on the other side before offering it for sale.
