I had this discussion the other day when a friend asked, "What is a roadster"? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Can anyone tell me what the criteria is for a "roadster"? Where did the term "roadster" originate?
Cheers, Elliot |

Same in California. The 356/356A Speedster is a roadster, as is the Convertible D, and the B series Roadsters. The open spyders, too. The 356 through 356C Cabriolet, while nearly identical to the roadsters, with the exception of a padded top and a fixed windshield frame, is a Cabriolet, as are all VW aircooled convertibles.
