Does anyone know where or if its possible to find out how many where sold with the panoramic sunroof option.

I know of 2 197s with them (my own and a UR 197) but I've never actually seen another.
Not at any club meet or Cliosport Saturday this year.

I know it wasn't a popular option, so really would like to know just how many there are about.

May show in the heritage section via the road cars tab but I can't see as I'm on apple products and annoyingly doesn't work.

Lux was end of the line. Silver wing vents, leather interior, different alloys etc.
The panoramic roofs where (seemingly) only available until 2008 (at least the latest one I've seen with the roof is on an 08 reg)

They were available throughout the 197 and 200s life. But, you could not have a sunroof with the cup chassis (due to its rigidity). The majority of cars after 2008 had the cup chassis, hence the apparent shortage of sunroof cars!

Well that explains the foreign plated 200 I've recently seen with one.
