The Windsor is two-door sports convertible featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

Design

The Windsor is designed as a 1960s to early 1970s classic European convertible sports car, appearing with either its black canvas top up or down. Originally designed to mimic the late-model Jaguar E-Type, the car was further redesigned during GTA San Andreas' development, resulting in a final form with a front end more similar to that of a 1966–1968 Ferrari 330 GTS or a Ferrari 365.

Performance

The Windsor is a very fast car; however, it does not match up to some of the "elite" cars. The Windsor's engine is very loud, giving out a thoarty roar, sounding more like a V8 than the four cylinder engine that came in all Alfa Spiders or the 6 cylinder/V12 that came in the all Jaguar E-Types, but acceleration and speed is on par. Cornering is very difficult, as the car seems to be much heavier than it looks, and the car tends to subtly fishtail or drift, despite running at mid speeds, though experienced players can control its drifting capabilities.

Customization

The Windsor can be modified at a TransFender, but is only offered a bare minimum of modification options:

Italicized pricing denotes prices at the Las Venturas TransFender, which charges 20% more except Colors.

 The '''Windsor''' is two-door sports convertible featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].
 == Description ==
-The Windsor is designed as a 1960s to early 1970s classic convertible sports car, appearing with either its black top up or down. The car resembles a 1960s [[wp:Jaguar E-Type|Jaguar E-Type]], but features a stretched rear and a generally longer proportion.
+=== Design ===
+The Windsor is designed as a 1960s to early 1970s classic European convertible sports car, appearing with either its black canvas top up or down. Originally designed to mimic the [[wp:Jaguar E-Type#Series 3 (1971–1974)|late-model Jaguar E-Type]], the car was further redesigned during GTA San Andreas' [[Content Changes|development]], resulting in a final form with a front end more similar to that of a [[wp:Ferrari 330#330 GTC/GTS|1966–1968 Ferrari 330 GTS]] or a [[wp:Ferrari 365|Ferrari 365]].
-The Windsor is a very fast car; however, it does not match up to some of the "elite" cars. The Windsor's engine is very loud, and may very well sport Jaguar's V12 engine of the 70's, just like the real life E-type and [[wp:Jaguar XJS|XJS]]. Cornering is very difficult, as the car seems to be much heavier than it looks, and the car tends to subtly fishtail or drift, despite running at mid speeds, though experienced players can control its drifting capabilities.

-As a classic sports car, the Windsor can only be spotted in affluent areas of San Andreas, including [[Las Venturas]], residential areas of [[San Fierro]], and the western half of [[Los Santos]]. During the mission [[A Home In The Hills]], the player has to use a pink Windsor (with a license plate reading "J LOMAX") to pursue [[Big Poppa]].
