Re: Open-Top motoring....
Not so bad IMO, in fact put normal wheels on and it would be OK from the rear!!
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

A quick rough out makes it much more presentable in my view!!

Hideous!
I think there is a contest among car designers to out-hideous one another.

Identical to my daughter's 'bananamobile'
Except for the wheels.

Re: Open-Top motoring....
I have a bit of a liking for the SAAB convertible. Here's another example from a hot day in Helmsley. I think the back end could be improved, looks a bit heavy and in need of lengthening and squashing down a bit.

Re: Open-Top motoring....
Looked on my backup drive but no pictures found. They are probably on one of the mountain of CDs and DVDs here.
Daughter with the yeller SAAB now has a topless Megane - tintop type
Her elder sister has an ancient Ford Escort cabriolet, almost as old as she is, and a newish MX5 daily driver.
Again, no pictures of any of them.

Re: Open-Top motoring....
Here's another SAAB convertible, up for sale at Brightwells and with a little badge on the grill which makes it more than the average SAAB convertible

Apart from my daughter's Saab, Megane and Escort, the only other ragtops I have driven were

The landlord of our local hotel had a plus 8 it twisted in the middle when you jacked it up. I have a photo of the car here somewhere.
