What I am trying to say is that even go backing decades it is only the estate that gets a mention, but a convertible was made and I am guessing must be somewhere. Just never seen it.

As an aside, the roof of the convertible was made by Bruce Durrant from a design presented to him virtually on the back of a fag packet. He was based in Woking next to Cartel (remember them?).

Tried to track down the Humberstone family a few years ago to find more info re the Rapport, but without luck.

Have an original brochure and think the Rapport Forte Convertible looks great with the roof down. Roof up, not really a looker.

NB: Any ideas on what wheels the convertible is wearing?

They look like Revolutions to me! What a cracking shape that convertible is. TVR wedge ish but somehow classier.

They look like Revolution 5 spokes to me too, although I think Compomotive did something similar.
