Default Finding a used ISF with NO sunroof?

Hey guys,

I am in the market for a serious performance vehicle, was finally able to drive a local ISF today and was thoroughly impressed overall. My only slight issue is that I am 6'5" tall and therefore run into headroom problems sometimes. The car I drove today had a sunroof and my head was very close to touching the roof. I read that the models without a sunroof gain a few inches in headroom which I would love to have.

How hard is it going to be to find a sub $35k ISF without a sunroof? I'm not seeing much in my internet searches so far.

Thanks

I don't know the numbers, but, as was said above, it is extremely rare. I seriously doubt you'll find one.

Shame you're not in the UK chap.

Nearly all of the 200 odd IS-F's we have don't have sunroof's!

It was an extra on the price list, so not many were fitted with them.

I take it you checked the seat was right down on the car you test drove? Just something to check.

I'm 6ft, and fit mine very comfortably.

Then again, I have no sunroof!

Hope you find something fella.

Cheers.

As stated previously, they are rare, but you can find them. I found my USB with no sunroof in the Bay area in CA. Hope you find one.

That's surprising. There is no way I could fit with a helmet and sunroof in the ISF. My current car has about 1.5" of headroom but when I put a helmet on it hits and I have to lean the seat back a little bit to clear.

I 'could' live with a sunroof model but I know I would be happier if I could find one without.

in all honesty I do have to recline the seat a bit to clear it too. Sounds like we are in the same boat bro
