British automotive slang for a convertible car — specifically a drophead coupé, where the roof folds down rather than being fixed. The term was common in mid-20th-century British motoring culture, conjuring images of Bentleys and Jaguars with canvas hoods flapping in the wind. These days it reads as charmingly old-fashioned compared to 'convertible' or 'cabriolet', but enthusiasts and classic-car buffs still reach for it with obvious affection.
