Roadster query

[LFrank]

A recent topic revealed bigdanh's car to be a roadster based on his data card (mine is too): my question is, on an original roadster what color are the hubcaps painted (normally painted to match the roof)?

I can tell you that my hubcaps are painted body color.  Whether that is historically accurate or not, I don't know.  I'm sure someone here will have the definitive answer.

Hello Guys,

On an original roadster (i.e. delivered without hardtop) the hubcaps (should/must) match the body color.

Best,
