Its a shame we didn't put a build number plaque on them!
Was it ever confirmed how many were finished and on the road?

yes it would,ve been a nice idea that once passed sva/iva to be given a build number.
i believe there are 5 completed on the road Roadsters at the moment,
hope its ok to do this list.....

Actually, would this still not be a bad idea? I know the badge issue has been talked about and there is still some debate about a name.

What if I purchase either 10 or 20 engraved plaques with the following:

Haynes Roadster (or Chris Gibbs Roadster)
Number 001 (up to 10 or 20)

They can be issued in order of either completion (SVA/IVA) or registration, at a "cost price" - just need some proof.

i think this is a great idea, tho the only down side i can see is, that in years to come will the person arranging/issuing the plaques still be within the forum/Roadster community, not saying that you wouldn,t be but who knows what happens in 1- 5- 10 yrs time, just my thoughts
i think from the current poll it,ll be a case of numbers in the 20,s

Perhaps to keep it exclusive, we limit it to the first 20? Or if soemone moves on, we hand over the baton?
Apologies for the thread hijack!

I actually quite like:

HAYNES ROADSTER

Designed by Chris Gibbs

Number 001



Edit - number 1 for the original car

Mine's down at Haynes these days but when *cough* other things are finished, I'm going to build a car for myself, probably BMW E36 or MX5 based as that will help with a future new edition of the book.

Sunny days are agony when you don't have a proper car to drive

cheers
