The DVLA do not have a breakdown of model variant – saloon, coupe or convertible – so or sister site, the Triumph Herald Database, has had to do some number crunching and has come up with this interesting graphic and suggest that there are ONLY 17 – SEVENTEEN! (948cc) convertibles left in the UK with 6 currently ‘on the road.’ What do you think?
UPDATE January 2016. After the initial wring of this post (March 13, 2015) two cars have been removed from the list – one was a converted saloon and the other exported to Finland. That makes 15 UK convertibles! (see details below)
