1969 Chrysler 300 Convertible, photographed at the Amboy Depot Days Car Show, 2015. They will never make 'em like this again.
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 :)
Carrying a base price of $3,934, standard features now included windshield washers, sunvisors, a thermostatically controlled radiator fan, and a parking-brake warning light. A heater was still optional for 1961, however, priced at $102.25. While air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes still weren't offered, the "Wonder Bar" signal-seeking AM radio remained available, as did the Positraction limited-slip differential, "wide" whitewall tires, electric windows, and the power-operated top.

Is this a 900 or a 9000?
It's a couple of years at least since I've been to a scrapyard,and it was a bit of an eye opener.
I've commented on other peoples photos of scrap cars expressing surprise at how new and upmarket many of the vehicles were,and somehow assumed that in this part of the world they would tend to be repaired,or at least sold for spares.
Well;I'm out of touch.
Many of the cars in here were upmarket models around 12-15 years old.Most appeared to have little if any body damage or rust;some,like this one,appeared to be in excellent condition.
There was another Saab convertible in here too.
White 1968 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible - WGC 296F - seen at the Phantoms Street Kruisers' annual hot rod weekend and show, held in Stirling, Scotland, July 2014. Any extra information on the cars, their history or any work done on them will be gratefully received.
In 1961 the Series IIIA was announced with the Series II Sunbeam Alpine 1,592 cc (97.1 cu in) engine.
Externally and internally the Series IIIA was identical to the Series III. The improvements were directed solely at improving the durability of the car. To this end, engine capacity was increased and a stiffer crankshaft fitted. To increase reliability, the crankshaft incorporated larger diameter connecting rod bearings which called for modifications to the connecting rods and gudgeon pins. Modified oil and water pumps completed the engine changes. As a result, power output increased from 78 bhp (58 kW) to 80.25 bhp (60 kW; 81 PS) at 5,100 rpm and torque increased from 84 lb·ft (114 N·m) at 3500 rpm to 88.2 ft·lbf (119.6 N·m) at 3,900 rpm.
In addition, the Series IIIA included many detail changes such as an increased diameter front anti-roll bar which greatly improved roadholding, a redesigned clutch bell housing, a revised clutch assembly with nine pressure springs instead of six and a redesigned air cleaner assembly. Inside the car a fresh-air heater, hitherto available only at extra cost, became a standard fitting. All of these changes combined to make the Series IIIA subtly different from its predecessor and to give the Sunbeam Rapier a new lease of life in the showroom.
Maximum speed for the Series IIIA was lower than the Series III at 90 mph (140 km/h). It also took longer than the Series III to get to 60 mph (97 km/h) (19.3 seconds) but its engine was far more durable.
In mid 1963, the Series IIIA convertible was discontinued but the hardtop soldiered on until October 1963 when it was replaced by the Series IV. When production of the Series IIIA ceased, 17,354 units had been built.

My parents had a '49 Ford, when I was a kid, but it was a Club Coupe, not a convertible, like this pretty little Ford. Seen at the AACA Grand National Show, Moline, Illinois, June 29, 2013.
Step right up folks!

Lotus Elan + 2 Convertible
There was a company in Cannock by the Catterpillar works who used to convert these.
The owner told me he's put a 2.0 Zetec engine in it. I liked everything about this car & it would sit happily in my garage.
Lighting setup for some of the convertible shots1 , and 2. You can see my exciting turbo diesel Fiesta parked behind the BMW Z4. Mind you, my boot's bigger, and I bet I get better mileage. Don't get quite as much attention from the girls though.

From an old negative I found.
This was a picture I shot of myself not long after restoring the car I am leaning against.
(all body work, paint and engine done by myself)
Yep, I had some long hair then.
Not any more, after 27 years of long hair, I cut it all off last September.
Gary (loungelistner) is going to feel like I have abandoned him.
Sorry Gary!
BTW, I still own the car.
