bent8rover ◊ 2007-05-09 00:22	I don't know how to class this one, as it has no roof so can't really be listed as a convertible.
antp ◊ 2007-05-09 00:27	Race car? Or with the quads, as it is more like a bike with 4 wheels...
Star Wars Fanatic ◊ 2007-05-09 00:34	Well, it seems that others are being listed as convertible.
bent8rover ◊ 2007-05-09 00:58	antp wrote Race car? Or with the quads, as it is more like a bike with 4 wheels... It is a genuine typed-approved road car.
antp ◊ 2007-05-09 18:18	Yes but in UK you can put anything on road, so that does not count
dudley ◊ 2007-05-09 18:24	It's a spyder
bent8rover ◊ 2007-05-09 21:57	antp wrote Yes but in UK you can put anything on road, so that does not count yeah, I know what you mean. But not as a new car though, it's strict enough to make many smaller companies stick to selling just kit car designs for existing doner cars. The expense and rules to abide by to get type-approval for pan-European sales is the same for all EU countries, I would have thought.
bent8rover ◊ 2007-05-09 22:02	dudley wrote It's a spyder we could add this to the list of vehicle types, yes, but a 'spyder' defines a vehicle to still have a rudimentary convertible top without side fabric - so would remain a 'convertible' in modern parlance?

It's described as a 'unique' vehicle on the Ariel Atom site. The Renault Sport Spider (described as a good example of a roadster on Wikipedia) is the nearest vehicle I can find - no windscreen as standard, helmet required. It's listed incorrectly on this site as a convertible too. What about 'pure roadster': that's how the equally open Smart ForTwo Crossblade is described on Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Fortwo#Crossblade
bent8rover ◊ 2007-05-10 00:27	yeah, ok, so maybe spyder/roadster would fit as new vehicle type? Antoine what do you think?
antp ◊ 2007-05-10 00:31	Is it useful to separate roadsters and convertibles? At first we had a separate class for coupé/convertible (206 CC, SLK, etc.) and a class for Targa, and both were merged with convertible as being too close. I think it is somewhat the same for roadster... Maybe it is better to just rename the category to "convertible/roadster" ?
bent8rover ◊ 2007-05-10 23:46	yes that would be best, as it covers the issue without extra work
supercarmad ◊ 2010-04-01 17:36	This spec is the orginnal atom 1 which ran i believe from 2000 to 2003
