What could be braver than an aftermarket convertible reportedly owned by Rag'n'Bone Man?

It has always been possible to spend significant amounts of money on a car and yet reduce its value. Many of the most obvious examples of these unwise investments came from the tuning culture of the 1990s, when outrageous visual mods were often applied at huge expense, but made the cars almost impossible to sell.

A non-standard, open-topped version of the SEC is only going to appeal to a small number of potential buyers – more paddling pool than swimming pool – but this does offer the chance to get something rarer than a very rare thing. The internet is divided on just how many SECs Lynx decapitated, but the consensus is either two or three.

The SEC must have seemed like a sensible next step given the car’s popularity among the well-heeled at the time, but what seems to have been limited sales success means it almost certainly wasn’t a profitable one. We don’t know what the conversion entailed, or what it cost, but Lynx’s experience of chopping tops meant it will doubtless include some underbody modifications to brace the weakened structure.
