    Heated seats in a convertible is essential if you want to use it out of summer. We have heated seats in our 125 convertible and we often use it in the middle of January with -5 outside. Whack the heat up, turn the seats on, wrap a scarf round your neck, throw the beast into the twisties and enjoy the drive!

    Unfortunately in 1932 when the Alvis was built heated seats were n't on the options list

    It's the aerial, no roof so it has to go somewhere

    Pretty sure the raised ones on the red and black car is a GPS receiver. The chrome one on the silver car - nae idea at all. Why would they be different just because the car colour is different, doesn't make any sense.

    Edit: There's a bigger black one on one of the silver cars too.

    I have to be honest - I'm all for the manual roof. Excess weight for motors you don't need aren't there, less to go wrong, happy days.
