Mamod Roadster By: Woe is me Date: March 30, 2024, 2:23 pm --------------------------------------------------------- They say 1976 was the first year for the Mamod Roadster(also the year I graduated, I could've had a brand new car), and it came with a meth burner. This has an unused solid fuel burner and a note about solids and where to get more. Must have been right when they were switching, maybe later in the model year. It looks good with the other two I picked up a while back. Red, White, and Blue. [attach=1][attach=2][attach=3][attach=4][attach=5][attach=6] If enough of us get one, we can have drag races.

Mamod Roadster By: Hassellbear Date: March 30, 2024, 10:42 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Wow! That is very nice. Complete with box, hanging tag, steering rod, and burner. Excellent condition and unfired. You did good. I’m happy to learn that yours takes a solid fuel burner. My 6-spoke came without a burner. I read the year one cars used a hard to find methanol burner, so I’ve been looking for one. The bottom burner area on my roadster looks exactly like yours, so I now think it takes a solid fuel burner. Those are available. #Post#: 62299-------------------------------------------------- Re: Brand New 1976?

[/quote] Yeah it came with everything, a couple of pamphlets, a funnel, and a full box of Mamod fuel tab's. I have seen some first year models with the meth burner that were used so I'm thinking this one is from right after the switch. #Post#: 62305-------------------------------------------------- Re: Brand New 1976?
