Three Speed Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 My preferences, based on anticipated grin factor ( I do enjoy poking around under the bonnet / tightening things up as well as driving them) Vitesse Sebring MX5 Merc Pug BMW Having both a Herald convertible and a GM Saab 900 convertible I can confirm they both have significant flexibility mainly limited by the door catches on the B post. Best not to watch how the gap changes there. Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 I also have this 504 convertible, but I don't know if it has scuttle shake as I have never driven it more than in and out of the garage. The plan was getting it finished this year, but who knows now. jumpingjehovahs, loserone, Craig the Princess and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shite Ron Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The 504 convertible would be no.1 on my list by a considerable margin, that is stunning! Puts all your other convertibles in the shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2flags Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 My vote would be: Vitesse, just because I remember them when I was young. Merc, because, as has been mentioned already, convertibles should be comfy, wafty things. MX5, true summer car. Pug, good shopping car. BMW. convertibles should be automatic, saying that my Renault is a manual. Sebring. Don't know much about these. Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jifflemon Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Have just realised that you must be "the other" member of the Bucks sebring owners club.... Membership of two. My friend has the Milton Keynes one. Utterly silly car - Eats front pads and discs, can't corner, struggles to get into double digit consumption figures. His reason for buying it? The cup holder can warm a cup or cool a cup. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this is Glasgow last November, 2002 Sebring Limited in light met blue. We are not aware of the heating cooling thing with the cup holders. Agree not a great drive, but drives ok like a soft saloon. High 20s has been our fuel consumption. Says 200 bhp but feels a lot less and not just ours as I have driven lots of these in the US. Quality was always poor and I must have looked at six in the UK over several years before we found one I felt was fit to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
