I think a roadster is a car on which the top disappears into the body when =
not erected. It can be on an attached frame or completely removable, but i=
t it's not seen when it's down.

"Thank you for your enquiry of 17 August concerning your Austin-Healey 3000=

A convertible has a retractible hood that is affixed to the car and roll up=

That's too difficult, not fair ;-). Is the frame also fixed to the car? Sor=

I think we have to get the definitions right. A convertible is a vehicle th=
at has a removable top, but the top is fixed to the car. Like the case is w=
ith BJ7 and BJ8. The BT7 is a roadster, meaning that the top is removable, =
and is not fixed to the vehicle. I suggest a simple Googling on this and yo=
