    My two favourite vintage roadsters have already been posted, the Ray Brown and Tom McMullen roadsters......

    So, will post my two favourite UK roadsters....

    JimTurnbull's blown and injected flatty powered roadster...[​IMG]

    And Dan Boone's lovely 32 roadster, that today still looks as good as it did when first built and shown, almost 20 years ago.

    This one stole my heart a ways back. Much respect for the “old devil” and to @birdog he’s a bad man.

    Thanks dsiddons
    Glad you like my 29 Roadster.
    For the record I drive the car a lot here in the UK.
    The longest trips made in it have been across country (500 mile round trip) to Pendine Sands were it has been clocked at 106mph. I have also driven it to the dragstrip and raced all day then driven home!
    Sadly at the age I’m at, I kinda now have to be ‘unfolded’ to get out of the car after a long trip!

I’d say they’re my faves as I still have em.
    But these 2 below with these sets of wheels really set the bar!!!! 2D9A62DB-771E-46C9-907D-2EFDC4D01190.jpeg 43663D4C-DC20-4721-9560-22237F327A0D.jpeg CFB55407-A827-4940-8A27-B26F553919C6.jpeg

    It's amazing how different (in a good way) the Chapouris and Niekamp roadsters look with the Fish/Halibrand wheels on them @Cyclone Kevin!!
