There's an ad for one in the latest Classic & Sportscar and it comes with a rare hardtop. How the heck does that work with those doors?
The same as it works on any convertible with a hardtop. Open door. Get in. Or out, depending on where you were when you opened the door.Apparently they were very heavy and this speeded their demise. Plus, as the sills had to be deep enough to accommodate the retracted door, convenience was sacrificed as well. Not a good day in the design office.
"Boss! Invisible doors!"
"How do you get in and out?"
"With difficulty."
"I like it. Draw it up and then have ten prototypes built. And call marketing, they're going to love it."

It was good and eye catching. I wonder why it wasn't taken up?
The industry standard reason, surely? Poor ROI.nicanary said:

I went in one with a hardtop in Germany some years ago, and I don't recall any issues getting in or out.
Since the door dropped down, presumably you'ld have to lower the window each time you wanted to get out. That's what I'm puzzled about.droopsnoot said:

I had one back ib the day with a hard top,no issues,the window drops with the door,with the Hard top off i used to drive it in the summer with the doors down.... Great fun....
I am an older member of PH, and my memory isn't always strong - in addition I have mental blackouts verging on dementia. .For some reason I had it in my mind that the Z1 was an open roadster ( similar to the Renault Spyder) and had no side windows. In my imagination the hardtop had fixed windows and the driver would have to stoop down through the little gap where the door had dropped! Really - that is how my mind worked. Time for some of my tablets...........
