Why build just one i8 if there is an option to build another one, but just make it convertible. So I did.
For those who didn't notice the first one - here's the album link: www.flickr.com/photos/the_rolic/albums/72157716803125113
And - what's best - it has instructions available now here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-57837/Rolic/bmw-i8/#details
As the title states - it features retractable roof (loosing the space for rear seats).
For those who saw my blue i8 - remember I used the rigid hose to shape the door window frame and door hinge at the same time. Obviously - I couldn't use the same technique here as there is no window frame from end-to-end. There's just a small triangle. But!!!! With the help of few bar pieces and droid arms I could achieve everything I thought was impossible.
So I hope you like this one as much as I do. Let me know :)

I believe this is C. Budd Bayliff with one of his Cadillac-based Packard convertibles.
CORRECTION: This is a Buick Riviera-based car.

Laguna Seca Blue 2001 BMW M3 (E46) Convertible - Y646 NBL - seen on display at CumbriaVAG's annual Show & Shine Festival, June 2016.
Perhaps of interest too is the fact that this appears to be the car that was driven by Tiff Needel on television's Fifth Gear programme, when the car first became available. More information available for those who wish to take time to "Google" the registration number.
Any additional information clarifying the vehicle's make, model, modifications made and its specific history will be welcomed.

I've driven a lot of them but I've never had one for a lens. First of two shots made with exactly the same camera position and movements. One at 180mm and this one at 315mm.

The beautiful Matchbox 1953 Buick Skylark Convertible is now on its third different colour, the first two appearing in the UK in large quantities at Tesco but alas not this brand new yellow version. A total absence of anything past Case D has seen to that but as ever I managed to find plenty of them recently at the French arm of Action who currently have huge amounts of Case F and G in Power Grabs guise.
Always an appealing casting of this early 1950's classic with ample amounts of chrome.
Mint and boxed.
