History and Popularity.
The Convertible D was introduced as a premium version of the Speedster, with more comfort and practical features. Although its appearance is much like the Speedster, the model offers a higher degree of practicality for daily use. The name "Convertible D" was not established until later; the first 14 examples had the inscription "Speedster D" on the front fender.
The convertible D is already registered in the Netherlands and is ready for its next owner!
