Station Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Why didn't they release these here (apart from the weather)? I think they were Spain and South America or whatever only. Why DID they release these? Vince70 1
DSdriver Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Amphicar, made in Germany in the sixties. Not only a convertible but it works in water as well.
Timewaster Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Although the *op *ear Espace was clearly a lash up only done for comedy* effect, it made me realise how few convertibles seat more than 4. My family of 5 rules out any chance of a floppy top sunburn on the top of my head.
Dick Cheeseburger Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 third front light so it can be used on railway tracks?No, it was used in homage to this: The Maxi diesel came slightly later, but went back to the normal two headlight layout. Unfortunately it was written off by a runaway milkfloat, piloted by a chap called Ernie. That was the end of that. JeeExEll and UmBongo 2

NorfolkNWeigh Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Why didn't they release these here (apart from the weather)? I think they were Spain and South America or whatever only. Why DID they release these? For some reason , probably the weather ,the UK is the second biggest ( after the Septics) market for open top cars in the world. Maybe because we want to make the most of every little bit of rare sunshine. Uncle Jimmy 1
Fabergé Greggs Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Fiat Strada/Ritmo Convertible by Tayne, on FlickrI came so so so so close to buying a ritmo convertible a while back. Love them. They have a "hatch" in the hood so very practical don't you know. Faker 1
Station Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 image by max_burton, on FlickrIt never got a proper release I think? I've seen a few in the flesh and think they look nice enough.
Aston Martin Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 It never got a proper release I think? I've seen a few in the flesh and think they look nice enough.It did officially come out here... As did the owners.
Six-cylinder Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 And for one more pointless convertible I give you the LN/LNA Bertin-Chollet. Faker 1
Felly Magic Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 I think the Corsa floppytops were made by Holden down under, where the awful thing was sold as the Barina cabriolet
Faker Posted October 1, 2016 Author Posted October 1, 2016 And for one more pointless convertible I give you the LN/LNA Bertin-Chollet.That is utterly horrid, and a total win!
