It's been a long journey for Roadster #483 since I bought her in November 2015 with 110,000 (!) miles.
Donald, the previous owner, took incredible care of her. Which was a relief, since I bought her with not much more information than the picture you see above.
Unfortunately—three months after getting her, a pickup truck slammed into her on the left, and pushed her into a parked car on the right. Chilton Auto Body had to replace half the carbon fiber body panels, and repaint the entire car. She was unrecognizable during the repair:
But six months and $25,000 later, she came out looking brand new.
Since then, I added a hardtop and some other upgrades. Most notable was a vinyl design based on the Tag Heuer Roadster. The work was done by Film Werkz in San Jose. Daniel there is amazing.
So, one year after becoming her owner, here she is.
