A Good guess, I've had convertibles since I was 18. Of course there is a song out and about a Drop Top Cadillac...
My first drop top was a '59 T- Bird. I think it was more like a trunk ( boot) open, top into trunk, filler panel flips down, trunk lid closes, more than just a Drop Top.
My Second convertible is a '72 Buick Skylark. Bought it new, still have it. The scary part is it was not my first new car... Rich

Hey Jag, yes, I do like the rear muff delete. Gives the car just enough rumble. and yes, the " drone" our fellow Jag lovers state is present. Doesn't bother me. Either radio on, window open a little or top down, it is gone. Strange thing is the drone sounds like bad rear diff carrier bearings. Least til you alter the RPM. Rich

Like the color of you Xk. I really lucked out with my car. My XK8 has 50k miles on the odo. I was told the engine was replace with one with only 20k miles. I cound not confirm this. For insurance I had the chains replaced anyway. Saved the parts. All parts were perfect. Not a stress crack or mark anywhere. Oh well... Rich
