Over the weekend, BMW have released the first images and details of the upcoming 4-Series Convertible, which replaces the outgoing 3-Series Convertible. Like the similar 4-Series Coupe, the new BMW drop-top will come with a choice of diesel and petrol engines. Topping the 'standard' range is the 435i Convertible, which boasts a 300hp twin-turbo straight-six engine.
Among the many great cars on display at Pebble Beach in August where two French masterpieces that had not been seen in the original form many decades. The first of these was the Bugatti Type 46 Gaston Grummer Cabriolet. Launched late in 1929, the straight-eight engined Type 46 was affectionately known as the 'Petite Royale'. The unique exampled that starred at Pebble was bodied by Gaston Grummer and successfully shown at the Nice Concours d'Elegance. Owned by the current owner's family since the late 1960s, its origins were not known until recent years, finally along for a complete restoration, the result of which can be seen in our 8-shot gallery.
An even more substantial restoration was need to bring Talbot Lago T150C SS Figoni & Falaschi Cabriolet 90115 back to its original glory. One of two built by the master coach-buildes, it had been converted into a racing car in 1947 and had sported a cycle fender body until this year. The product of a true labour of love can be seen in this 25-shot gallery, which also features the sister car, which was shown at Pebble in 2012 and will be offered by RM Auctions in their upcoming the Art of the Automobile sale in November.
