Cabriolets

[Profpointy]

Always fancied the Vitesse, with its smooth 6 cylinder engine. I had Herald in red, but regretted the sale within 24 hours.

The smoothness is really something given it's a very basic push rod engine with nothing exciting about it but it was genuinely very smooth. V8s alllways sound like a bag of spanners to my years, so I'm much prefer a straight six. All my other cars have been lowly fours.

You want a 370Z @Accy cyclist not a mini !

@Accy cyclist I ran a Saab 9-3 cabrio for 9 years, the Aero version with a modified 270hp.

Great fun, better than a Mini with more space and 4 seats, plus it took a Bones 2-bike rack on the boot.

Plus @Accy cyclist will be able to pull all the birds

Since there have been one or two e-car threads since this one was posted, I notice there are no e-cabriolet-cars. The closest is a BMW i8 but that's a hybrid. I reckon convertible e-cars will be the last ones launched as there's more sales volume from SUVs.

Frowns at Mustang Mach-E. Are those Ford guys having a laugh?

Two soft top Minis i spotted today,at different places. The top one is 500 quid more than the bottom one and not only that,it's a year older. 🤔 I'm guessing it's because the top one is a 1600cc Mini Cooper,while the bottom one is a 1300cc Mini One.

Some nice black alloys on the Cooper!

Far too big for me! 🧐

They do a soft top. 3.7 V6, very reliable, no turbos. Been out over 10 years so some cheaper ones. Only down side, road tax is £500 a year.

I'd be very tempted with an older hard top - but I do like my Nissans. But the road tax...

How about going Matchbox?

I actually had one of those,in the late 1960's. Though it was more burgundy than post box red.
Now all i have is a 'Millenium' Mini and an Albufeira (Algarve) taxi.🧐
