Lotus Esprit Convertibles

Lotus Esprit S3 Saint Tropez

As far as I know there have been two companies that converted the Giugiaro Esprit to a convertible.

PBB

An english manufacturer, Paul Baron Bailey, converted a limited number of S2, S3 and Turbo Esprit models into convertibles. The total production number is not known. These are called "SAINT TROPEZ".
