Not got any.

Want some.

Can a dealer retro-fit them and how much for?

Can I buy some and do-it-myself?

Anyone looked into this?

Not really worth the effort in my opinion. They must be the worlds smallest sun visors! Mind you, if they were any bigger you couldn't see out the windscreen........

just get a selection of decent sunglasses...

Have to add my comments to Silver350t's -- they are the width of a pack of chewing gum and provide only the most limited of use --- and only go up down no side protection. Suggest spending the money on a decent pair of Ray Ban's -- they just fit in the glove box.

I always keep the ray-ban's in the car but also bought a sun strip that helps (a bit) in the winter when the suns really low.

The problem with a sun strip is that the window is really wider than the strip - so it does not really look that great but I don't care as it helps..

Call me a short arse if you like, but i needed them in our T350C, so i made some from black tint perspex ( I work with it all day you see).
Went to B&Q, got some velcro tape, and they are easy to fit and remove when not required, They have been so handy over the last 3 years.So ignore those who say they are useless!!!
All i can say is they must be taller than me. Most people are taller than me actually,(just thought i would add that before Terminator got in), i'm taller than you are Colin
Dave
PS... mine cost me £1.50 for the velcro so na na na na na

Richard,

I have just fitted some into my Tamora, they are out of a Griff. Dead easy to fit, they bolt through the channel at the top of the windscreen, just like the Griff. Work a treat, alot better than the small one fitted into Sags and 350's. Cost £27.00 / pair new or £15.00 ish from a breaker, come in black.

If you are local to Warrington I could meet you so you can have a look.

Hmmmm that sounds interesting.

I'm sure someone (maybe Maddog on the Tam forum?) could host piccies if you have them.

Just need to wait until summer to find a topless Griff!

I'd be interested to see some piccies too. I'm not particularly blessed in the inches department (I'm talking HEIGHT here) so they might be needed.

As for coming in black, I'm guessing that they'd be easily covered with hide matching the interior by a decent trimmer.

Interested to see the comments about being vertically challenged.

I'm over 6 feet tall but I have the seat tilted back a bit so my head doesn't hit the roof.

I am, however, having awful trouble with the Winter sun on these cloudless days. I has to slow to a crawl on the A64 the other day heading West at around 5pm. The sun was full blast at horizon height onto the road - I couldn't see at all for around 2 miles. That was scary I can tell you.

Que boring old "when i was a TVR Main dealer" story:-

At the 1999 Motorshow, PW told me that there were no sunvisors on the not yet released Tuscan and the then new Cerb LW, because TVR were launching TVR Personal Possessions, run by PW's brother-in-law. One of the things TVRPP was going to launch was a range of TVR sunglasses (a la Porsche) and every new TVR owner would be allowed to choose a pair of glasses from the range. Hence no need for sunvisors! The sunglasses range never did appear.........

Sun visors would have been nice, I have to admit, as taking a pair of sunglasses and cap are as much a necessity when driving, especially in the summer and bright winter days, as your brakes being in good order!

I was told the exact same thing by the lovely Danielle during a factory visit in 2002!
