Sorry if this is a repost, but the FT86 looks really good:-

It was only a concept.

Just thought that I would post some pics, just in case the website is removed:-

Apart from the interior the car looks great. A big fan of convertibles 😜

Toyota missed a trick there, would have been a great contender for the MX5 with the addition of back seats like the 911.

Never mind

I dunno, I can't see it being a big seller in this country

You'd be surprised. UK is one of the biggest, if not the biggest – per capita – markets for convertibles.

Really??  

I figured it would be Italy or Spain or the USA or something like that...

Apparently we are a nation of very optimistic drivers

Think I'd prefer the 2000GT convertible like this one:

LOVE it!!

Like the GT86 the 2000GT was not designed to be an open car originally. In the case of the 2000GT, they had to chop the roof off because Sean was too tall to fit in the coupé!
