Hard to find a r53 without a sunroof!
Been looking for another r53 and have had a devil of a time finding a nice condition one with manual and no sunroof. Found a couple of sweet low mileage ones but they always have that damn sunroof. I am tall and even with the seat set as low as it can go, my head literally rests against the top edge of the headliner. If I hit a hard bump, I will give myself a concussion. I owned previously a 2005 r53 without the sunroof and fit in it just fine.
Sorry just venting some frustration! LoL.

When I ordered my car, I ordered it without a sunroof. But when it arrived, it had a sunroof anyways.

Greedy dealer wanted to pad up the profit margin on an already thick gravy Mini train back in 2005. It should be against the CDN communist laws which consumer protection is the top intend.

I'm having the same problem trying to find one!
It has been highly frustrating.
btw
Have you seen this one?
It's been up a while and looks like it needs a bit of attention,
but a very good price for a JCW.
It's in Lynchburg:

Be patient, they are out there. You just missed one in South Carolina with 32k miles this past week. Purchased by a friend of a friend. Slicktop JCW.
Having owned both versions (with and without sunroof) I totally agree that the solid roof better. Have you considered an R53 GP?
