NCE, or Newport Convertible Engineering, is going all out to please the green brigade by not only supplying them with a Prius - one of our time’s greatest known “green” vehicle – but also letting them look up at the sky to see blue. Blue, not green. The rendition reminds one of cars converted by ourselves in the backyard during a form of depression of some sort. Remember VW’s Golf 1 cabrio of the 1980s? Worse still, it looks very much like Chrysler’s misdesigned interpretation of PT Cruiser cabrio.

NCE hasn’t done badly before, but this time we have to lodge a slight objection. Perhaps you are one of the buyers who ordered this car? Tell us why you did it and how much it’s cost you.
