I don't think so. I don't know about the Coupe, never taken a good look
inside with that in mind. But even if the Coupe did have visors, I doubt
that they would work directly in the Roadster.

Well, maybe start with this:

The "Sun Visor" that is commonly supplied as an accessory part for the MGA
is actually not very functional as such. It has a smoked plastic panel
that is so nearly transparent in direct sunlight as to be practically
useless, except it might make a decent wind deflector for a tall person. I
tossed mine out yeaars ago. But if you were to install some really dark or
opaque black plastic panel, or cover it with some opaque material, it could
be made into a real working part. If you do that, please take some notes
and send along a picture. It would make a good addition to my tech pages.
