This abortion of a motor, they spent millions trying to stop the fucker collapsing in a minor bump after the crash test's went very badly , I believe girders were welded in as a last resort

I think the Corsa B prams were Australian Holden Barinas rebadged for here. Billy probably would though as he's a Corsa B pervert. We must all bow down and worship Julian up in Yorks, as he has the ultimate shite cabrio in his shed of ultimate car pornography, the only right hand drive example in existence, it's yellow, it's floppy top, and it's a Yugo!

Never been keen on soft tops, but the one I'd take is the Allegro.  It is very neat and the hood has not changed its appearance.

Mk2 cav was avl as a 2dr saloon more commonly in lhd.

The corsa ç was I believe imported from aus & rare in the UK.

Aggro was by Crayford again only a handful made (first one was for sale a couple of years ago needing a full restoration ).

Dunno what happened there but after second rewrite it should be in English.

Appears each time between writing & posting it would the grammar would alter.

I have always thought this was unnecessary....I mean, extend the life of a beautiful Loewy coupe design by all means, but leave the bloody roof on FFS

How has the Marina Mumford not been mentioned yet? Just look at the KWALITI B-pillar set up:

You could have spent a lot more money on a glazed B pillar-ette.....

I think I would rather have seen Princess Anne topless.

Horrid pastiche of retrospective design elements.    Could be worse, though....

Same thing on the very late Jensen Interceptor Coupe - nicely finished off with Marina badges too.  Only lift of panels rather than a full convertible though.

And now we have this 'ahem' symphony in beige

 

allegro-1.jpg

that is pretty much perfick for following the original roofline. just a pity it stuffs any opporchancity to use the boot..

Posted

Another vote for that Allegro. I'm not a fan of convertibles, but that one doesn't look half bad.

 

And - a vote for the Princess too - suits the shape well.

I always secretly liked those Visas, think it was the four doors.....
