Convertible? Mazda Australia had six built by a specialist subcontractor, and approved as a special series of a maximum twenty per year under the Australian Design Regulations after structural engineering certification. The cost new was 50% higher than the coupe!

In the USA, Pacific Avator converted 126 used Gen 1s between 83 and 87. These varied according to customer requirement and were never stock.

Thanks. I'm doing the work myself and writing the articles as well as doing the photography. My editor just gives me a dealine. I have been doing sort of thing for several years. I also write for SubieSport once in a while, have been published in Mazda's Internal magazine FUEL and as far abroad as New Zealand Performance Review. Fun work, but it doesn't pay very well.
