It also has a 2.5-liter turbo, just 89,500 miles, the Premium Package, heated seats, a CD changer, all-weather floor mats, and apparently all maintenance is up to date.

Oh, and as you can see here, the car is a droptop.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

The first convertible I ever rode in was an early '60's TR3. I guess I just assumed all of them would be easy to use - after all, it's just canvas, right? I should have known as on that Triumph I could lean out and touch the ground at 12 years old. I've recently re-upped for an old driver quality convert and the adjustment is more than I expected, but damn is the summer air at 5000 feet elevation at sunup a revelation. I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger.....

SilverHawk During the time of the annual model year changes, Motor Trend would do a Preview edition that included actual pencil drawings of new grills and taillights, along with whatever spy photos they had. Those pencil drawings were supplied by the manufacturers. At the time, I had friends at AMC and Ford who made these drawings available to MT.

1995 SC I think it's different now and the manufacturers just sort of leak them to the desired automotive "influencers" but it is still interesting with some cars. The C8 was a good example because it was such a radical change.
ECurmudgeon One wonders why they didn't just go with a fleet of RHD Ford Transits, but the answer is, of course, "money."
