The US version with catalytic converters and the “mixer box” has chromed tips, sounds and looks great. When the cats heat (and speed) up the exhaust gas, the sound gets even better. However Weber carburetors have a tendency to run quite rich, which sometimes is “too much food” for the cats, which in turn can melt its internals, resulting in poor high end torque. This happened to me.

With a little practice two people removing the roof and placing it behind the seats can be done in 30 seconds, the same in reverse. It can be done by one reasonably strong person at double the time, but at the risk of scratching some paint.
