Now looking extremely passe, the VW New Beetle convertible is still a popular casting with most toy manufacturers though. Realtoy have just finally added another new colour to theirs which at this end of the diecast market is probably one of the best. Mint and boxed.
Vauxhall carried on making the Mk2 Astra convertible for a while after the Mk3 was introduced.
K526XNK is a real Luton registration, which went on the DVLA's computer on 14th October 1992. The colour is listed as grey & the last MOT was on 11th December 2007.
It's not listed on the DVLA system now, & the MOT test suggested it was traded in during the scrappage scheme.
Considering these had rear wheel arches that attracted rust 15 years on the road is good going.
I've linked a Carlton that was registered in the same K...XNK series.
The Defender for the last sunbeams of the fading summer.
An easy made model: just a roof cut, a snorkel and Range Rover wheels.
A recent refresh of the Maisto based Adventure Wheels series in ASDA has seen the reappearance of this old Porsche 356 Convertible casting. Dating back to Maisto's better period back in the 90's when their products were easily the equal of Matchbox its now a shadow of its former self with a distinct lack of painted detailing and some pretty naff looking wheels cementing its definite budget status. Its great to see this classic Porsche in 1/64 miniature form of course and admittedly this model does capture that iconic shape and being a convertible means its one of those few basic Maisto models which actually has an interior! Part of a five vehicle set. Mint and boxed.
23,562 Stingrays (8,186 coupes, 15,376 convertibles) rolled out of the St. Louis assembly plant in the 1965 model year between August 1964 and July 1965 with a $4,022 factory delivered price for the convertible (FOB St. Louis). 4-wheel disc brakes were standard in 1965.
Seen with optional reverse lights (added as standard for 1966).

Amilcar était un constructeur automobile français basé à Saint-Denis.
La société, célèbre pour ses voitures sportives légères dans la catégorie des cyclecars, produisit des véhicules de 1921 à 1939.
Dès les débuts, la marque est présente en compétition.
L'Amilcar la plus célèbre demeure la CGS (« Châssis Grand Sport ») du Salon 1923 qui possède un moteur porté à 1 074 cm3 et un freinage sur les quatre roues (brevet Amilcar), mais il n'y a pas de différentiel.
Trois ans plus tard, le modèle donne naissance à la plus sportive des Amilcar, la CGSS (« Châssis Grand Sport Surbaissé »). Lorsqu'elles sont construites sous licence, ces voiturettes s'appellent Pluto en Allemagne, Grofri en Autriche et Amilcar-Italiana en Italie.
En 1925, pour contrer Salmson, la voiture de course CO est équipée d'un moteur six cylindres à double arbre à cames en tête avec vilebrequin sur sept paliers à rouleaux de 1 100 cm3 à compresseur. Elle bat le record du mille lancé à 197,42 km/h de moyenne.
La version client, la voiture de sport C6 lancée en 1927, possèdera aussi un moteur à double arbre à cames en tête.

About the 2007 Camaro Convertible Concept
The 2007 Camaro Convertible Concept was announced January 6, 2007 at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. At a glance it would seem that the only difference between the coupe and convertible concepts would be the roof and Hugger Orange pearl tri-coat paint job with a pair of dark gray racing stripes, but this is not the case. Besides the obvious convertible top, there are subtle changes to the exterior as well. Every surface was changed from the door-cut back. The rear fenderlines drop off from the horizontal surface to the vertical surface a couple of inches farther out than on the coupe to keep proportions good and the rear spoiler was reshaped. The 21 in (53 cm) front and 22 in (56 cm) rear wheels were also redesigned and a thin orange line was applied to the outer edge, a nod to redwalls available circa 1969. There are many interior changes that were incorporated into the new concept. The retro houndstooth-pattern seats of the coupe were replaced with modern leather and orange stitching. The metal finishes, accent panel finishes, and seats are all different colors. The rear seats are 6 in (15 cm) closer together to make room for the tonneau cover. The clarity of the circular gauges in square frames were improved by making the faces white with black chrome numbers and a red anodized needle. The deep-dish three-spoke steering wheel and four-pack gauge cluster carry over from the coupe concept. Chrome seat-belt buckles are designed to look like the iconic belts buckles in late 1960s GM cars. This reworked interior of the Camaro Convertible Concept is now a very close representation of what will be seen in the production version of the Camaro. Production of the Camaro Convertible is planned to begin in the first quarter of 2011 in Oshawa, Ontario, where the coupe is currently assembled.
