I keep thinking that my Star Silver Omega would look great with a black vinyl roof. I'm old enough to remember that the Mk1 Capri 3000E...... and the MK111 Cortina 2.0 GXL from the early seventies came with a black vinyl roof...... and I always thought they looked good.
Should I consult a Doctor.....do I need help?.. :) :)

Yes

Don't do it! :o :o :o It will be a sign of madness!! :P :P :P :P :P ;)
...................and remember in the 70s the vinyl used to come off in strips!! ::) ::) :D ;)

Nah, I like the old Fords with the vinyl roofs myself, especially the Mk 1 Escorts, I had a 1300E with a black vinyl roof and thought it looked excellent. You might actually have a point for once ;D

My old 1600E Cortina had one too.
Aubergine with a black vinyl roof and red pin-stripe along both sides.
It looked 'the business'!

You are not crazy Opti. You are simply an old fool who can't let go of the past.

Owned a Vauxhall Victor 2.3
It was metalic green sort of BRG with a beige vinyl roof.
I had it recovered in my ownership, I thought it looked really good. Also had beige vinyl seats, don't think they were leather.

They do Optimist :D :D :y
But you are forgetting what it is like when the black vinyl strips off :o :o Do you remember how Ford suffered from that fault in the early 1970s? It cost them a fortune to put right and they never went back to using vinyl roofs again! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;)

Is there anyone on here who could photoshop a vinyl roof onto a silver Omega so we can see just how mad Optomist is?
