It looks like Austin did a pretty nice job of treatment around the roll up
windows keeping the roadster lines but I guess they brought it up a bit
higher on the BJ7 and BJ8 because of the collapsed height of the
convertible top:

I also like the quarter lights (but these ones are fixed, looks like), they
are very elegant.
Looks like a perspex roll up window, which would make sense for a prototype=
.
Yes, the holes on the side are pretty ugly, even if it was done at Austin
for whatever reason I would get rid of them on principle.
