I can echo that.
Back in the late '70s when I was a student,
my Dad found me a Summer job though one of his mates,
who was an Engineering Supervisor at a Manpower Services Commission training centre at Alperton/Perivale.
Don't know how he could afford to buy or run it, but he had a convertible Stag,
and as long as I was at a certain road junction, by a certain time, he could offer me a lift.
Job only lasted a few weeks, (i found something that paid a bit more), but there were a couple of sunny mornings when the roof was off,
and,
it felt like ......... I don't really know what!
Turns out one of my retired neighbours has a 'sunny-Sunday-only' car.
'L'-reg Triumph Stag.
