1986 Suzuki Swift convertible

My next door neighbour has one on SORN and is possibly thinking of selling it.
What do you guys know about them? Apparently it's a conversion that was done by a dealer in Hitchin.

Cutting the roof off too sounds like an ideal situation.

It's apparently been restored by a classic car guy that is a mate of his. He's advertised it fairly recently but got pissed around so is looking at either doing it again or just keeping it.

No, I want/need a full 4 seat convertible but have put buying one on hold given the way the economy is going. I suspect that there might be some bargains this winter which then might lever my tight wallet open.
