4 Door Cabriolet

[thussain]

I would like a 4 door cabriolet with a hard top that is reasonably priced. Does such a thing exist?

Might be wrong but I don't think there has been a 4 door cabriolet since the lincoln continental...

Mercedes have produced a prototype for a S Class based 4 door but its not going to be cheap. http://stadium.weblogsinc.com/autoblog/hirezpi cs/mb_oceandrive_05.jpg

Seem to also recall that a company was doing conversions on the Chrysler 300c.

None of these are going to be hardtops..

I am almost certain that you can't get a 4 door (nowhere to put the rear door hinge post!). There are quite a lot of hard top cabrolets about now though. The most common 'small' one is the Peugeot 207CC , or at the other end of the price range a Merc SLK, but there is a Ford Focus CC [CC= Coupe/Cabriolet], VW Eos. These all have 2 piece rooves. I have got a Volvo C70CC which is a 3 piece roof, so avoids having a long sloping windscreen and its also a bigger car than the others. Prices of course vary according to what style/engine/gizmos you have. As an idea, our C70 is the middle of the range (SE) with a 2.4i petrol engine (but after demoing a D5 diesel, I'd have that now) and I think it was on the road for about �27K. I think I remember hearing a new Ford Focus was about �17K. You pays your money and makes your choice!

I think Hitler used to have a nice one.

You won't find anything much fitting that description unless you commision a coachbuilder to convert something.

There has been the odd 4 door cabrio: the old Citroen Visa DeCap for one, but it was a soft-top, and of course the 2cv........but those were small cars- a big 4 door convertible, particularly with a grossly overweight folding tintop mechanism, would shiver and shake over every speed bump...gruesome!!
