Just the baur's as far as I'm aware, although I expect there may be a few DIY jobs out there!

Sure I've seen pictures of one posted on the zone before. From Holland or something like that.

If it's rare dips will most likely have one.

The E21`s never left the factory converted aka roofless, only if wanted was the sunroof, BAUR only made E21 convertable by order so when you wanted a convertable E21 then you had to wait for it, so bmw would ship any orders to BAUR and they would chop chop weld weld seam seam and bobs your uncle....

A "Lumma" convertible. Looks much better than the Peters, uses the E30-parts.
