We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided ROVER MINI NEON 1991 Registration number: H417 AUF Body type: Convertible Colour: Red Date of first registration: March 1991 Neon was a lazy edition on the Mini City - chrome bumpers, better plastic bits, stickers and Nordic Blue colour. 1500 made, but no-one noticed. Home-made chop - LAMMs and Rover's own cabrios had body kits. |

 That boot badge suggests it was a professional conversion, but I can't read it or trace a similar example to suggest who. Rovers and official LAMMs didn't have a boot badge like it. Also apparently the reason why Rovers and official LAMMs all had body kits was to hide the strengthened sills needed to compensate for the roof loss. If this one is a professional conversion, whoever did it must have engineered a different solution.Also as noted above, the Neon was a cheap poverty edition - if someone wanted to spend oodles of dosh on a cabrio conversion, why choose a naff spec instead of a better more upmarket version?? |

The badge doesn't say LAMM or other possible names I've found for UK Mini convertibles such as Russ Swift (yes - the same Russ Swift who's doing the stunt driving in other captures - he did 45 targa cabrios, at least one of which - a red one - he used in 2-wheeling stunt displays - brave lad!!), Crayford, Auto Design, Keith's Convertibles, Custom Cabrios/Auto Fashions etc. Plus several European outfits, but again no names to match what I think the letters could look like. However, I've got one suggestion which might match - it could simply say Cabriolet. |
