There are plenty of aftermarket ones that will fit, a Bini sunroof will probably require the roof skin as well to make it look right and is a lott of work imo.

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

There is no such sunroof made for a 1980 Mini.  If you want something like that, you will have to find one in another vehicle and adapt it to your Mini.  One guy I know bought a glass sunroof for a BMW MINI and installed it in his classic.  Don't know how hard it was to do, but he did a great job.  He also did a tremendous amount of bodywork, including chopping the top, so it is definately not something that the novice should try.  Good luck!
