Stepping back in time......
For one point tell me the marque, model, year and coachbuilder plus why the sunroof opens in this unconventional manner.

That's got to be British. Is it a Standard?

If it's a Standard is it a 16hp "Six"?

Does the roof open like that so that the occupants can stand up in the car to watch horse racing but be protected from classic English summer weather?

I have it as a slightly larger engined model.
Nice idea about the spectating at horse races but it's not that.....

Joao has given the full correct answer and wins the point.

Pytchley Autocar Co. Ltd. of Northampton developed their sliding roof in 1925 and it soon became popular in the the industry and with the car-buying public.
In order to give the visitors to the 1926 Olympia Motor Show a better view of their 'sunshine roof', Pytchley presented this Standard 18-36 hp Saloon with a modified roof to illustrate how it looked and operated.
