Phill Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 E30 convertibles are cheap. My wife quite likes them so have been looking. They are cheaper than hard tops. I prefer the Baur convertibles and they are cheaper still for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the Baur convertibles and they are cheaper still for some reason. Convertibles have a worse rep for rust due to leaks that don’t get fixed. Floorpans and bulkheads give way. Baurs are cheaper as their looks are more challenging plus I think i read their bodywork/trim parts are NLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njpcarrera32 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 And now for something completely different. My uncle had one of these when they were new, much more lively and better handling than the equivalent sporty Escort. But boy did they rust... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1979-Fiat-131-Supermirafiori-Twin-Cam/193677366442?hash=item2d181214aa:g:pSEAAOSw9Epfad72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He liked the car and the way it performed but shocking corrosion. ‘78 he was back in a Volvo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methinks your wife needs educating Roy. If it wasn't for mine I wouldn't have an IB 😀😀😀. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy M Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Agreed but don't know where to start really. She 'respects" the 911 and loves the Boxster but if I put four space savers on it she just wouldn't notice! I think I'll just stick with the traditional "Yes dear" Edited October 1, 2020 by Roy M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how "normal" people view our obsessions. I hate to think what she would say about an old mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
