The more I see these, the more I like them. With a restoration, this one would be awesome. Which roadster came with the dual Solex carbs instead of the SU's? I thought it was a 2000 roadster, but I have never seen a picture of a car with them. How rare are the short windscreen cars? How rare is a 67' 2000 roadster. I hope this stirs up some interest.

I'm with you Ben, these things are gorgeous. Why anyone would buy an MGB or something instead is beyond me!!!

I too have caught the bug for these cars. I don't know a whole lot about them but I do think they are seriously cool.

I envy Victor he has a nice clean Z and Roadster both looking very pawn .

I am not sure about the SU's as a standard item however I could be wrong.

Dual Solexes were an option along with a higer lift camshaft on the 2000 roadster only. (150 hp vs the stock 135hp) The higher windshield came along in 67 1/2 on both 1600 and 2000 roadsters. The 2000 came along in 67 and was only available for that 1/2 year with the short windshield. They are rare (early 67 2000). I think the rarest roadsters are actually the 1970 model. They made less than 1300, that year,of both combined. I had a 1970 1600 roadster in which I installed the 2000 crank, rods, and pistions which could be done on the 5 main bearing 1600s. Essentially a stroker kit. I also put the 2000 5 speed and console in it. Back when I had it, the parts were much easier to get. Rust is even more of an issue with these cars than with the Z if you can imagine that. The eBay car looks pretty original though missing a few parts. (lack of an air cleaner stands out, tough to find)
