My quote from attached thread:
Just thought I give my opinion since I own two beats and a cappo!
All in all both are excellent cars, both unique and brilliant in there own way, which one to choose is dependant upon what you want from a car.
If I HADN`T a practical second car I would choose the cappo, hard roof means you can drive it and its bone dry all year round and you have a boot provided the roof is on.
If I was forced to choose between the two, the cappo would have to go im afraid to say. Fair enough the beat is slower and is less practical BUT I simply love the way the beat handles, the roaring engine the unmistakable feel of the midship layout.. and you could buy a good beat and have enough left over to get a new roof etc etc, given their price in comparison to cappos, Beats are an absolute bargin at the moment.
I would definitely agree with Murray though one of each is definitely in order if at all possible next on my shopping list is an AZ1 !
