An old cabrio thread included it 9 years ago: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...s4-cabrio.html Some discussion of it going from Holland to the UK.

Post something like _that_, and you're going to get them anyway.

They got lazy on it.
They should have just replaced the entire hatch area with a sedan trunk/boot shape instead of just cutting the hatch area halfway

I have a photo with the note that Caro in Hamburg(?) made these for very short while. I think credit for the original info goes to a member from PFF. I pulled a bunch of 928 convertible images off the internet a couple of years ago.

At least you know where the photo was taken.

If that was produced by the factory it might knock out the gremlin for ugliest car of all time.
