[Healeys] Convertible Top.

[Per Schoerner]

Hi
Perhaps we should redefine the term then, by saying a convertible is a vehicle with a top that is fixed to the body AND quick and easy to erect. That would make the BN2 a roadster again, wouldn't it. 
But I wonder what the rest of the world would think of this idea 🤔

> That's too difficult, not fair ;-). Is the frame also fixed to the car? Sorry for my ignorance, but BN2:s doesn't grow on trees over here. Admit that there are a few around, but as I also always have seen them as roadsters I've never thought about it.

> I think we have to get the definitions right. A convertible is a vehicle that has a removable top, but the top is fixed to the car. Like the case is with BJ7 and BJ8. The BT7 is a roadster, meaning that the top is removable, and is not fixed to the vehicle. I suggest a simple Googling on this and you will get the terms right.
