Ah the Barchetta. I considered one of those before my smart Roady cabin space was marvelously spacious unlike other considered cars like mx5 and mgtf at the time ie I fitted until the roof was put up that is where at my natural sitting position my head poked through the soft top.

The salesman tried to suggest I got around that by crouching! What for 80 miles a day?

We will have to go and see a new mx5 in the flesh as the good boss lady didn't instantly say no to the rear! Oh what fun we had trying to find another open top for her!

Now if made do as nice a green as her streetka is currently in (VW Scirroco Viper Green) then I think it'll be job done.

Still look forward to the Italian styled version though rumour is that it may no longer be an Alpha Spider it may be Fiat badged!
