Ron started his Rover experience in the ‘60s and collected all the parts cars that Kent subsequently owned. I have pictures of about 100 parts cars in a field outside Marion, Texas, where Ron had them stored. Ron had a glass roofed car, I saw in the mid-80s, which he claimed was from the New York Auto Show and said it was quite an experience driving through a lightning storm. I started corresponding with Ron in about ’76 and spent a few weeks with him in the mid-80s. Kent said that Ron died in about ’07. Ron tried to obtain another glass roof from the manufacturer but they denied having made them. He believed there were only two or three such glass roof cars. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ron Jones was a very intelligent fellow. He dropped out of school in the 9<sup>th</sup> grade as there was nothing left for him to learn. He spent a few years in the US Air Force as a mechanic during Viet Nam. He ended up with a repair shop in San Antonio and discovered Rovers the restoration of which became his life’s work. Ron eventually became a victim of cocaine addiction and ejected everyone around him. He was a master mechanic and automotive visionary until his drug obsession overcame him. He was a memorable fellow. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Gross Scruggs<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Annapolis MD<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Rovernet <rovernet-bounces@rovernet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Webmaster RCCA via Rovernet<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, December 24, 2021 4:51 PM<br><b>To:</b> Rovernet <rovernet@rovernet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Webmaster RCCA <webmaster.rovercarclubaust@gmail.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Rovernet] Glass roof<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>There is one complete car here in Australia, owned by Rover Car Club of Australia member, you can read all about it here. <br><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/rccapics/3017363847/">https://www.flickr.com/photos/rccapics/3017363847/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>As mentioned in the discussions, there was another that had been removed from a car.
