Welcome captain! Great pics! My sea career never made it further than cabin boy, even though they put me on the payroll as 'ordinary seaman'! But I now own 2 of these XM barges and a canoe as well! But your boat looks great out there!

A sunroof was standard equipment on almost all UK XM Erik, with a few exceptions, including late V624v like Jim's. With regards, Matthew T.

Toyota possibly had a better idea, as they refer to these things as Moon Roofs...

First, if I'm not mistaken, most UK cars came with sunroof. Second, it's logical to have them in a place where it rains 400 days a year...
Actually, I never really wanted a sunroof but I wouldn't refuse to consider a car with it, either. It just happens that mine came without. An AC is a must, that's clearly a horse of a different colour.
Bye,
