Hi Allan, welcome to the forum.
A vinyl roof was never supplied or a factory option on any UK TR7. Only the USA Victory edition came with a factory supplied vinyl roof.
Nice to see another Speke car being used and looked after. Post some pictures so we can have a look at her.

They were often fitted by dealers to many makes of car in the 70s as vinyl was very de rigueur.

Hi Allan - what Dealer in Edinburgh supplied your car - use to walk past a Triumph Dealer in Willowbrae Road on the way home from school ( well a small detour as was trying to impress / chat up a girl, which worked as she is my wife now )
Think there were lots of BL Dealers in Edinburgh at that time Rossleigh, Carmichaels & Appleyards mostly in the leafy suburbs.
