There were a very few of these Grahams given a convertible body conversion by Vesters & Neirinck of Belgium around 1939. I think the bright red was a mistake by Ixo, as is a turquoise version in the Altaya collection which mirrors the Ixo Museum series. Online there are dark green and white versions of 1:1s, either of which might have been the better choice.

BTW, Vesters & Neirinck was the coachbuilder of several Bentleys, including this 4 1/4-liter coupe by LookSmart.
