That has to be one of the worst convertible conversions I've ever seen...

I was curious so went searching and found this

Don't know if this really exists and it is still ugly, but better than the XJ convertible

At least the Merc doesn't have that awful roll bar and the top is hidden when down....

Absolutely ruins the beautiful roof line, one of the car's best features.

I'm embarrassed that this company is local to me...

Think on the positive side: No more roof pops!

White on white might be better. It's really not a very good conversion. I think done correctly it might look good.

That is an automotive abomination. That's why they make the XK if you want a topless Jag.

Again the conversion as done is not very sleek. I think if some company did it with a bit more finesse it might be more attractive.

Yes that and four door convertibles are just a big no-no in my book. They just don't look right.
