Ritchie's Rad Roadster II (356)
Anyone followed this creation?

Alloy panels and built to F.I.A. Historic regs. Very nice and in the same hue (I think) as his old Outlaw 'A' with polished gumballs.

That was Richie's Outlaw car that I shot in the USA and which Bootsy refers to... Nice car(s)!Del wrote:very cool with some lovely touches.
reminds me of that 356 that was in Volksworld many many years ago where the circles on the door looked like chrome stickers but it was actually the body that had been mirrior polished.
Very nice.

I drove to the 356 International in the Loire Valley with Ritchie in the yellow outlaw car with the polished "race number" discs - a wild car !
We also went to Florence for the International there in a 57 "Carrera" replica in silver, completely stripped out - through the Mont Blanc tunnel with no lights as the battery light had come on nr Lyon and we wanted to preserve it ! an interesting experience to say the least !
That was the first outlaw car he'd built, arrived on the boat from the States at half past seven on the night I got down to his house, we washed it and left an hour later for a 23 hour trip to Italy , a great adventure !!!

No, this is another one, it hasn't ever been to any shows over here!356ist wrote:Is this the white roadster I had seen Richie at events in for the past few years (but not recently)?
I have some more pictures ready for the website, I'll get 'em on there tomorrow!
Has anyone thought about what this actually means, Ritchie on a race track is going to be interesting to say the least!!
