    They had it made years before MINI started selling the convertibles.

    Check out that windscreen angle compared to the currently 1st gen convertible.

    Looks like that roof lasted longer than the 3 roofs our 05 went through.

    It must have attracted a lot of attention in its day. However, without roll bars or reinforced A-pillars, I'd avoid doing any spirited driving.

    Yup, and without frame brace under the car, it's doubtlessly a sloppy ride.

    Looks like somebody decided to sell his nice wheels and replace them with somebody else's takeoffs before putting the car up for sale...
