    Interesting Roadster

    This has a few interesting features -



    Bonnet sides made to lift up with the tops.
    Corners of dash top remoulded so side screens fit flush.
    Alloy screen frame - not sure if a replacement for original or just an over skin.
    Neat front indicator mounts.
    Folding hood frame.
    Bound rear springs (Denso tape ?)

    I thought it was a late build initially with all the rounded corners (IVA/SVA?) on the windscreen, leading edge of wings etc. But why are so many people using this bright yellow nowadays, it's awful.

      Screen Frame;

      It appears to be Stailess bent around the original frame.

        In answer to the colour, simple really. Being a small car, to be highly visible on the road. Also of course a matter of oersonal choice. I dont think the colour is (awful) This is a very well known club car, very well built, and developed, many continental trips, many awards over the years. great little roadster with many modifications.

          Yes I think the car is amazing, wouldn't be my personal choice of colour though, probably next to last before pink. I'm a traditionalist, dark green, blue etc. But you are correct the dark colours probably aren't good in low light.
