Shame about the hood structure sitting on the rear deck, it rather overpowers an otherwise elegant conversion.

[dinkel]

It looks period this way - but maybe this is a better option:

Looking at that it's easy to see why some people comment that the XK150 looks Mk2 like.

if they could have hidden the hood the lines would have been fantastic.

Looks good this way but, presumably, at the expense of rear leg room.

Should a convertible not always be a 2-seater?

No. e.g. BMW 3 Series convertible is a bit of a classic 4 seat soft top.

That's not a convertible. That's a Bentley!

Wow and thanks. Italians just know how to make a car look good.

Very nice. Not one of the 50 original Birkin "Blowers", but a replica built to full "Blower" specification, based on shortened 1928 4½-litre chassis.

A 4-seater convertible is usually known as a Tourer.

Back on topic: Does this count as a different Jaguar?

I get your hint though: feel free to open a 'different Bentley' topic
