Re: EBay Finds
There are quite a few cars that I would like to try "if it wasn't a convertible".
Makers hardly ever get around to making a coupe (for me) from the soft top.
MG did it, and Mercedes with the SLC. Any one else, ever?

Re: EBay Finds
In 20 years time we might say Z4. Probably not “for you” though admittedly. And folding hard tops shouldn’t count. So punt that out of the arena. Did any coach builder do a Stag?

Re: EBay Finds
I'd forgotten the Jensen Healey, but that is an estate, not a coupe, like the Z3 which I'd also forgotten. Coupe/ estate is an irrelevance, the roof is the thing.
Not the TR7, that started as a coupe. But I should have remembered the GT6 as that is as much derived from the roofless Spitfire as it is from the Vitesse.
There were both sorts of Elan, but I don't know which came first. Lotus didn't bother to coupeify the '90s Elan, which is the one I was imterested in. As usual.

Re: EBay Finds
Cor yeah! And I was at Gooders Revival in 2001 when a freshly created one got stuffed on the first corner in its race. I have some wonderful before and after shots taken literally minutes apart. Pre-digital so in a box somewhere.

Only one of those words is possibly correct.
The others are, largely, what hangs beneath the rear bumper. If it had one.
