Vehicle Description

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 nicely optioned Backdraft RT3B was completed in June of 2017 and delivered to its first owner in Pennsylvania. After 2 years of enjoyment and only 2,611 miles the owner has had his fill and checked this one of the bucket list. The car is in excellent condition and has been maintained by VMS throughout its ownership.
