                    Judging by that exhaust the owner also has a souped up Subaru Impreza.....

                    One thing that often makes me smile is the effort people put in to making the seat backs look fancy and then just leave the seat base as a flat piece (no doubt) foam filled. I doubt that car will be comfortable on anything above a short journey. I do know what I'm talking about as I had a Dutton Melos with a similar seat profile. Needed an osteopath if you venture more that 30 miles.

                          Just had to have a look. That's a good looking roadster, loving all the detail and the conversion to cycle wings, really suits the car.

                            I remember seeing that Roadster and talking to owner a couple of years back. It was at a Classic Car show D.S. and I attended in Derbyshire. Nice example!

                              I recall it being for sale here a few years back and wondered where it went. A very nicely detailed car, but listed at twice what it’s probably worth!

                              - 4th owner of Q309 RNV, an early Cabrio built by Bob Copping, owned Doug & Liz Billings for 16 years
                              - 9th Custodian of JRR 929D, Triumph Vitesse based special Paul Moorehouse built prior to the Triumph Roadster kits.
                              - 8th owner of Roadster chassis number 2395. Now owned by Barry!
                              - Builder of chassis number 2325 (PKK 989M) in the mid 80's. Now owned by Eric & Lynne.
