The green one is horrid, the roof looks awful and as said, no boot....why would anyone do that?
Re: Calibra convertible at Duxford today (now with photos)
The green one looks like a DIY job. The other one looks awsome! Looks similar to one that was for sale in classic cars magazine recently.

The green one's roof was a custom made roof by the same company that does roofs for Bentley or some such prestige car firm ...and it does belong to a member on here

The green one looked really nice in the flesh, clean lines and understated. Would look perfect with the hood down.
To me the interior was a turn-off (no picture) as the door cards and the centre panels of the seats were in a strange loose quilted finish.

Re: Calibra convertible at Duxford today (now with photos)
It looks like the roof on the green one fits really well, because its a 4 seater the rear windows look a bit strange, but when you think about it most cabriolets we see here are only 2 seater cars so no need for the rear windows, in most of the 4 seaters they have the electric windows.
I think whoever had this done was very brave to do it, and have a very nice car now, and the main reason for having a cabriolet is to go 'topless' I would love to see it with the top down
I do think the Calibra lines lend themselves well to a cabriolet, shame they didn't make one.

The green Calibra is still unsold, but as others have mentioned, I would also buy it in a heartbeat. Very rare car, only needing leather interior to really complete it!
Never knew it had no boot though... who needs one though??
