This Roadster was originally built by Sydney rodder Ross Roberts during
the late 60s and
early 70s and was finished in 1973. After driving the car for a while
it was sold and went
through various owners including Ray Ellis from the south coast area
and ending up in
Canberra under the ownership of Mark Saunders who after a little while
sold it to Graham
Howe who has now owned it for about 3 years and is improving the car
at this time.
