    When one of the previous owners was down southend with it, he had to then drive home quickily when it rained I made the mistake a few times on a long run, start with the roof down in the 19 and half way down the motorway it starts raining for some reason even though no sign of it when I left. Wouldn't get wet if didn't go slower than 60mph so interesting when stopping to put the roof up

    Re: convertible

    This is a genuine one, I remember seeing pictures of the state of what it was like before hand, windows smashed, rotting away, so in their mind best way to save it was to convert it like that. The roof actually went off to save another EBS conversion, think it was the silver one but not sure.

    Re: convertible

    I thought the roof was knackered, which is part of the reason the butchery was done?

    Re: convertible

    I thought the windows where sold to the lad that bought the red convertable shell that was on eBay 4-5 years ago.

    Re: convertible

    as fas as i know the roof went off to some1 from taunton somerset, ant he couldnt udo the windows so alex smashed them out with a hammer
    it was a genuine ebs but was crashed 3 times that i know of.

    it is a bit crappy and a shame to waste an ebs doing that to it seeing as that could be done to a normal 5. lol

    Re: convertible

    In 1989, the Belgian company EBS produced a small number of convertible versions of the Renault 5 (1400 in total), almost all of which were left-hand drive. 14 of the 1400 cars produced were based on the right-hand drive GT Turbo Phase II

    This is correct, The roof went to Jim in Torquay as his was a plastic ****e one and was fooked, replacement was a mow hair jobby which was the upgrade to the one he had. Window where smashed as stated, i met the guy who murdered that ebs cabby at the french car show. I kinda said in not so many words what a he was for killing it.

    The boot floor is mashed in on that cabby due to the amount of crashes it has had!!!
