You are correct. That model along with the U4119 (I believe) were the first plastic convertibles and were introduced in the late '70s. |

Nate,
You are indeed correct on your information. This model is the firs plastic base model to be introduced in the late 70’s. I’m not sure the official color names, but it’s a white base and white bag with a grass green hood, trim, and handle grip. It’s a non-headlight model. It’s subsequently my favorite model Convertible as well! I have several running examples of this machine, along with many parts for them as wel! There’s one currently for sale on eBay, however it’s been there for quite some time, and with the seller’s lofty asking price, I imagine it will stay for sale for a long time to come! Here’s one of my U4127’s along with my lavender model 33! Somewhere, I have a copy of the owner’s manual and an advertising flyer for it. I’ll try to dig them out and send you a copy when I find them!

If I'm not mistaken, the plastic-based U4103 was made primarily in the early '80s. I did see a video of a (supposedly) 1977 Convertible Estate U4103, which had a metal base. |
