Like a cabrio. But a roadster has no road at all. Not even a folding soft top.

They look way cool if done well.

Like hebmuller style. i know of a kit in a yard, but he won't get rid of it.

it was a standard bug converted. If thats what u mean. Longer engine lid, external hinges, fibreglass cover over rear parcel shelf, (still retains rear seats), roll bar, butchered windscreen and pillars. Rest is stock.

yes its kinda has the hebmuller back end slope but unsure if they are 2 or 4 seaters but i like the look of them and know where one may be

There are a few variations but this is generally a roadster or speedster.

Now I know. Looks very similar to the Wizard roadster kits you could get in the UK. They were pigs of a kit, fibreglass everyhere.
