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 is COPPERHEAD. At VMS we build a small number of "named" cars per year. Some are commissioned by our clients and a few are built to display our capabilities and push the Backdraft RT3 to new levels of styling and performance. In this build process we strip the car down completely and build from the frame and body out. Nearly every component from the factory is upgraded or modified for improvement. COPPERHEAD has been treated to this process and the list of enhancements will show this.
