Open-Top motoring....

[myglaren]

Should have taken a snap of the car my daughter (#2) rolled up in.
She usually is in her MX5 but had come in SIL's Mercedes tintop cabriolet.

Needed the bigger car for a load of granddaughter's junk.

The Colt Convertible, never handled the best if I remember rightly, drove one back from a local car show to our dealership and I do remember, it didn't like corners with the roof off, it was Karmann roof as well, and when Karmann started to get into difficulties Mitsubishi wanted to buy the blueprints for the roof off Karmann, they refused, so Mitsubishi with drew the Colt convertible.
The Karmann roof on my Mk2 Megane CC was much better than the Webasto roof on my Megane 3 CC, it was 2004 CC sold at 180K mls and that roof was still smooth and elegant in its operation it still placed it in the boot, my Mk3 is really harsh and chucks that roof into the boot, back end of car bounces, and chucks it on to the windscreen when it puts it back on, the good news is it does not leak, as webasto also made the doomed leaking EOS roof.

You can enjoy a bit of partial open top motoring (with the webasto rolled back ), a few classic car show/on the road/ in the car park chats, and even a bit of gentle rallying/treasure hunting in one of these (even a brown one as reported on the highly neglected "All things Motorsport" thread here viewtopic.php?p=811652#p811652 ),

You get the video on this thread, still pic has gone on the Favourite colours for cars thread, striking and cheerful!

The "C" is always cheaper than the "G"

I should hope so, you have to pay extra for the ¬

Another one I'll not consider - as much as I love the 205, I never found any love for that particular variant at all. It does not look right to me, roof on or off...

Sorry...

Mean while
Know your Cabriolets!

Even the distorted ones...

Whats this then

The first impression I get suggests Volvo Amazon lines on the boot so that's my starting guess?

Having now had a look for some Amazons I found one with the registration CSB 216 so I'll stick with that as my guess!!

Not one of the sleekest looking cabriolets but yes it's a Volvo Amazon
