YCY 259T
Here's a complete oddball. I heard about this conversion many years ago (late 80's early 90's not sure) when I saw an advert for convertible conversions on popular cars in a car magazine. I sent off for the brochure out of curiosity and received an A4 page back......
...which included these 2 photos. The car also features a strange front valance and a rather neat twin headlight conversion the likes of I have never seen again.I think they might have used Mk3 Capri lights......but I digress.
The company responsible for this conversion was called Dorset Motor Services Ltd, Flaxfield Farm, Stuckton, Fordingbridge, Hants, SP6 2HE.

  The firm offered 2 routes to a convertible Fiesta.

  1).The DIY option offered the brave customer a complete kit for �899 inc Vat + delivery.

   if the customers tin opener wasn't sharp enough the Firm offered:
   
  2). A full "in-house" job for �1299 inc Vat, any paintwork was additional. This option was subject to the base car being structurally sound.
This was the companys sales pitch........."We are proud to present this stylish cabriolet conversion for your driving pleasure!
  Dorset Motor Services conversion has been designed for both the Mk1 and Mk2 Fiesta. This conversion will not only transform your vehicles appearance, but will also put the pleasure of carefree driving back into your life.
  The hood is made from the best quality material and simply constructed for ease of operation. With the top up you will be pleased to know wind noise is absolutely minimal. And when down stows neatly under the hood cover giving completely unobscured rear vision. The specially designed double skinned boot lid allows full access to ample boot space while offering security for valuables.
  Each kit comes complete with full fitting instructions and everything you require to professionally convert you car. Roll bars are available at extra cost."
So how many Mk1 and Mk2 cars were built using this conversion????
