    I really like the idea of the Roadster, and if they make the manual top as easy to use as the one in the early Miata's or Fiat 124's, then not having a motor won't be a big deal.

    Now as long as they don't price it like a Goodwood....

    That is a good idea. Much better then the old TR Spitfire, where the frame and top were separate items and you had to construct the top. PITA in the rain. :D

    I've toyed with the idea of trading in my R50 for an R53, but I think I should save up some cash until I can get into a JCW Roadster, if there will be one. I don't need back seats or cargo space.
