Letter: The hard choice over a pair of soft tops
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I read with great interest James Ruppert's article (Weekend, 8 May), as I am now the proud owner of a much-loved, second-hand convertible. I noticed 'Vilton Cars, Barnet', followed by 'Peugeot 205 CTi', and vaguely took in the words 'two identical models, 1987, 36,000 and 42,000, two owners and four owners', and realised he was writing about the very cars I had chosen between a couple of weeks ago.
After a long trip up to Barnet and much agonising thought, I made my decision and last week I went for that two-owner, 36,000 Peugeot Cabriolet CTi in a fetching shade of light metallic blue. I fell in love with it at first sight and am very pleased with my acquisition. I am afraid that anyone who thought it sounded like a rather good buy has missed the boat - I'm not open to offers]
Yours sincerely,
