Does this look like a hinge on the bottom of the bootlid?

Well to me its not the antenna thats out of place.. where else could they put it?, but the canvas roof looks too 70`s & amateurish.
I`ll think i`ll wait a few more years for the inevitable roadster with just 2 seats & modern metal roof.

The red one isn't the MINI cabrio, it's by a company (who stopped producing it) based somewhere down Brighton way, I can't recall their names!
