The shame is Hagerty's.

A list of "classic" convertibles that doesn't include even one British car? Ridiculous.

This is a terrible list. Half the cars aren't what I would consider "classic" and one of them isn't even a real convertible.

I don't think it's a list of "best" convertibles so much as a list of their top 10 insured convertibles. Good to keep the customers happy. The bulk of them, anyway.

Nice list but I could have thrown darts & done better; no MG or any British cars, yes - ridiculous.

And no mid-year Corvettes??? Seriously ridiculous.

What is Hagerty thinking? Isn'the the MGB an iconic English auto? No Austin Healey, no Triumph? Really?!

I am also perplexed thee is no AC Cobra, Jaguar 120 or E-type either.

About to leave a local auto parts store, I overheard an 8 yr old girl, "Daddy, what kind of car Is that ??

I told her a British car, from England, that was older than her Daddy (was right - he was 36).

As they walked away, I heard "Daddy, when I'm old enough, buy one of those for Me"

The only cars I would even consider are the Alfa, Mustang and probably the Vette.

Dumb list....
