This is such an regular topic with the same views every time a NEWBIE asks the question!!
The problem is that some owners are just so bloody precious about their cars and won't or can't admit the faults ...in this case "shape"of the DRB which is quite a significant "FLAW" in the Body Shape ...Personally if I were the manufacturer I would have made the effort to correct it over the years but they have not chosen to do so!!  Still this has not been detrimental to the overall car(Except when it rains and the water flows downhill onto the Occupants backs  ).....it is proven buy the volume of DRB's on the road...and their collective success at National and local events 
Beauty is in the eye of the OWNER!!!...and the potential new builder or buyer is entitled to hear all of the Pro's and Con's with EVERY suppliers product!!

Driven daily,and in the rain,never had that problem,even when i hose it down.  Every Replica is not an exact copy of an Original .Originals were all hand made bodys so 2 were never the same,if only slightly. All have flaws,and the broken back look, it is proven by the volume they sell, is sort after.

For F%rk sake "SORT AFTER"  an original is sort after certainly not a DRB it meets a market demand in an idealistic climate for a sporty classic convertible that is easily registered in QLD...I wish I could sleep with my car every night Too!!!!

Victor,
Easy on the eye ....open both and you get the perspective of the Broken back...are you sure they aren't produced in Coffs Harbour home of the big Banana 
Any wonder that red Duco is so shiney if you can POLISH it so well!!!
You obviously love your "SHOW WINNING ..TROPHY MAGNET"as does the public and good on you for being passionate about it but you still haven't given any of the negatives of the DRB.......Out of interest did YOU actually build it?????or did you buy your DREAM Car????
Its not that great well we can see that but i like a CLASSIC..ORIGINAL STYLING....!!!
Being 6'4" if I actually Straightened the saggy back of the DRB i might well fit into a DRB!
