The Backdraft RT3 Roadster is not a kit, it is a hand crafted replica of the infamous British roadster with an American V8 that captured every car lover's heart in 1965. It combines the historic looks of the original with the modern performance underpinnings of a BMW. The result is a stunning recreation that maintains legendary visuals while offering industry leading comfort and safety. Through continuous improvement and refinement the Backdraft Roadster has reached the top of its class for price versus performance and features.
This is a very nice Backdraft RT3 in the classic Guardsmen Blue with Wimbledon White stripes. It has many options including Wilwood Big Brakes, LSD Rear, Passenger Roll Bar, and an Audio System. Not to mention the Roush 427R engine setup.
