Presented at the 1997 London Auto Show, the Runabout was a leisure-time proposal for ocean-goers worldwide. Based on Peugeot's 806, the nautical Runabout was an open-top convertible/pick-up crossover with seating for two people. The dashboard, pedals, and steering wheel all carried the maritime influences found throughout the car. A cover could be drawn over the top for rainy weather, and the removable rear deck allowed storage for a jet ski. The rear panels opened outwards to enable the ease of storage entry. The tall automatic gear shift lever placed inside a chrome-accented cylinder was a notable feature of the interior design.
