Niche versions which outlived the base car
Discussion
Difficult one to summarize in a one line heading, but try and list any niche versions of cars which were still being built and sold directly in the UK, long after the rest of the range had been replaced.
I'll start with a few. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Golf GTi Mark 1 cabriolet. I think this was still being produced for several years after the Mark 2 hatch was introduced.
E30 BMW convertible
E30 BMW Touring
I think the Audi 80 convertible was still being built and sold after the advent of the A4 saloon, but am not 100% sure.
Also didn't Range Rover continue to offer the "Classic" for a while alongside its replacement P38?
Finally I the most extreme example I can think of is the Rolls Royce Corniche / Bentley Continental convertible which soldiered on for a full 15 years after the Silver Shadow had been replaced.
