Shorter Oxford English Dictionary:
roadster 5. An open two-seater motor car. Orig. U.S.
convertible 2. A motor car etc. with a folding or removable roof
drop-head b. (having) a car roof that can be folded down
or removed
MazdaUSA describes the MX5 as a roadster with a
convertible top, even though it's a modern copy of
the drop-head Elan.
