250 SWB Convertible Project
After repeated enquires regarding a convertible version of the SWB kit I have given in and started development.

I really like it. Should be a lot easier to build than the Coupe.
I don't think a 250 SWB convertible in this shape was ever built, although I could be wrong ? |
Looking good and a great idea. Always seems a shame to convert a soft top into a hard top.
Would I be correct in thinking that this will be an easier build and because it won't need the metal roll cage a little cheaper as well? As this shapes never built it makes it more appealing to me as I'm never that keen on a replica, sorry Tribute. This however is more original but with a nod too, OK, a bit more than a nod too. |
I like it, and having just been away for a weekend in my z3, the extra boot space will be a godsend

Pricewise, think Kobra kit plus door skins, grille and hinge framework in boot, sub £3k. |

There's lots of California Spyders on Tinterweb but this is the only 250SWB I can find with a rag top.

Oops. that's a California too...
|
250 SWB convertible WAS the California (or at least it was the nearest thing to it)

Ah - and I was going to suggest this when seeing you at Stoneleigh! Now with a bit of photoshop/jugging can you do a hard top convertible?:smile: Serious hat on again - will the original Z3 hood fit, or will it need a new one?

Saw this yesterday, loved it. Really looked good, seemed to be getting a lot of attention as well.

Any more pics (from Stoneleigh) available? Quite fancy one as a daily driver.
