Topless Ro

[Lewis07]

Have been looking at some pics of topless Monaro's. Not sure what I think. What's the view of the rest of you?

[davegreg]

I personally hate convertibles. Exceptions are AC Cobra, Triumph Stag and Corvette Stingray - most other cars i just think it ruins the lines when you chop the roof off.

AFAIK, there was only one official convertible Monaro ever made, I believe it was called Marilyn and cost somewhere in the order of $A1mill. And it was made in the UK! Any others seen are 'chop jobs'.

It was built and developed by a firm called Ultra Motive who went under a few months ago, google them and you can see the vehicles they developed. The one tonner I have aquired was one of theirs.

I agree its lovely. I'd have liked to have seen it with nostrils though.

the vented bonnet was not produced until 2005.......

The hood was from a Saab by the way.

Are there any pics of it with the hood up? I suppose the nostril bonnet would fit yeah?

[uk hsv]

yep on the video......

[wolfracer]

and then they went and put the fuel tank where the rag top would have been stored....

[Bonnie and clyde]

I do like it but i think it looks a bit like an Astra with the hood up
Just managed to download it. Just wondering why its a left hooker?

American response was to determine if it went in to production

[J. J.]

Have to agree with Mel. An opportunity lost perhaps?

[S600VXR]

Very nice and you can buy them now... ala BMW 650 convertible!

[essexhsv]

Dont like it, i think it looks like a Saab lol

[porrohman]

Don't know about marilyn more like sue ellen, the plate should have ewing 3 on it. The only cars to look good with no roof are cobras and ferrari daytona's. Oh and that mcburnie roadster from miami vice which imho looks better than a real one.
