The roof is foldable and fits in the rear luggage space. Just fetch it out when rainclouds appear. 1 Quote Website with information and pictures PBB St Tropez convertible Esprit: http://www.lotusespritconvertible.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a great experience with the St Tropez in the alps. Its half an hour drive from my home to reach the first pass Add ons as the Elise 111R and later the Exige 410 did help to overcome the separation pain. 1 Quote Website with information and pictures PBB St Tropez convertible Esprit: http://www.lotusespritconvertible.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't UK the country with the most types roadsters/convertibles etc? Seems to me you guys aren't afraid of a bit of rain and can appreciate a good car even if it requires some compromises.

Gold FFM johnpwalsh Posted March 2, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I would swap my S3 Turbo in a heartbeat for the Blue St Tropez. I think it looks stunning. I was offered one a few years ago, but as usual, didn't have the funds. When I researched them I think I found 6 in total had been built. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus-62 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 @ Rolf, I have been a few times to the lotus club/museum in Bad Aussee (usaully in september for the hillclimb) the panoramastrasse is a nice bonus. I am doing a rebuild on my 1985 s3 and must admit I was very close to cut the roof off but too much work, instead I hope to take my blue europa there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove the St Tropez three years there. The driving picture of the St Tropez is from "The Loser Hillclimb". Give me a note when you go next. Better buy a finished St Tropez. It may be cheaper and a lot faster finally.
