Brand New 1976? 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.

If enough of us get one, we can have drag
races.

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.

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.

Tommy:
What a great find and your Red, White and Blue trio makes a
wonderful display.
Are all three unfired?
