Classic European 4-seater convertible ideas ???
Looking to buy a classic convertible for weekend cruiser with the family. Originally wanted a 1989 Speedster or 356 cab until I realized neither had rear seats. Time for plan B. Now that I actually started looking, options seem pretty limited out there. Not looking for a concourse car. Want a driver which retains more of its originality. Anyone got any ideas?
Currently looking at these: 1967 Austin-Healey 3000MKIII 1968 SHELBY GT500 (Yea I know, it's 'merican) 1960s Mercedes-Benz 190 SL 1967 Fiat Dino Spyder

There's always the Beetle. The Mustang is probably the best overall choice for a weekend car.
How about a Benz 280 SE 3.5? AH is pretty, but agricultural. Plus, Lucas. Triumph Stag fits the bill, but you will never find a more wretched hive of bad engineering (ask me how I know). Lancia Flavia cabrio is pretty. Ferrari Mondial maybe too late? Then there are the crazy $: Lancia B50. Facel Vega. Mmmm, Facel Vega...

'60s midsize convertible or Mustang. Saw a nice late '50s Tbird cab on BAT. Always seem to be a couple of '60s midsize for sale at local car shows too.
Late '60s pre '74 midsize American cars make great weekend cruisers. Ask Mulligan….

European, 280 SE. 'nough said.
Merican, 60's Caddy or Continental with suicide door. Chain and blond are must.

Re: Mondial, yes they seat 4, look into the Mondial T. They are supposedly very much improved with the longitudinal engine and other updates.
