Spotted at Boronia Park oval this afternoon. Picture a little dodgy as it's a phone camera

Looks like (well , right kit , hood and rear 1/4 glass) the Rover Cabriolet , very nice ...

Nice, definately rover cabriolet, ouldnt be many of them in oz

Looks very original too , here's a scan from the 1992 sales brochure (took 5 attempts to scan it , damn Rover being arty and printing brochures bigger than A4 means it's hard to line up )



I know , it's a large image but it needed to be that size to be read , plus not many people come in here

Looks very nice indeed and looking at that brochure looks like its in original condition or near too. I've always liked the idea of a convertible mini. How water tight would they be??? I'm *thinking as* its factory it would be. Similarly as to factory fitted sunroof, less likely to leak compared to post factory fitment.

Any ideas??

What are production specs? How many were produced?

All I can find so far here is an initial run of 75 by coachwood company LAMM (first marketted as LAMM cabriolet's) to guage interest for an official Rover version in 1992 .

By the way , if anyone knows the owner or they read this give me a yell , I have a spare copy of the English language Rover sales brochure for the cabrio that I can sell/swap them .
