Animatronixx ◊ 2020-12-28 16:32	@Sandie: Yes - it seems to be one of the better ones. Bähr of Hagen offered conversion kits, but they probably shouldn't have... Also, there was a company named Braun in Berlin who built a few. It's RHD, but clearly too elegant for a Crayford. If this footage is from South Africa (my impression reading the comments above): There were local coachbuilders doing such convertibles, but I unfortunately don't know them by name. -- Last edit: 2020-12-28 17:25:24
