Does anybody remember the snake roof?

Does anybody remember the snake roof?
I had a Land Rover back in the early 70s and roved with several others in the area as each tried to become the last one moving, at which point we all worked to get each other unstuck. Took lots of time, work, and beer, but it was a lot of fun. For some reason the Diesel 109 won every time. It was hot in the summertime, and one of the guys mentioned he had once had a LR with a "Safari Roof", aka "snake roof". I can only guess why it was called that, but it was essentially a 2-layer roof. The outer layer shaded the inner layer, and air flowing through the gap further reduced the effect of the hot African sun. Does anyone know if these were sold in the US?

No, it is a daily driver, its not mine, I wish it was but I know the guy who owns it.
He bought it back in '97 in rough shape, did a complete restoration and he and his wife drive it, everyday.
He drives it to work, if there is going to be lots of snow his wife drives it to work because she has to work late and he doesn't want her being stranded.
They have 2 other cars, a BMW Z3 and a Jetta so when the Rover is in the shop they drive the other cars.
