Every Roadster has a story with it, here’s what the owner shared:

My previous car was a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT Spyder VR4, and in the mid-2000’s I was ready for a replacement.

I considered a Mercedes SL500, but really didn’t want to buy another gas-guzzler and was looking for something more eco-friendly.

When I heard about the Tesla Roadster, it ticked all the boxes.

I just missed the Signature series, (First 100 Roadsters) but went for the next round and got VIN #108.

I waited 2 1/2 years for the car, and took delivery from the Santa Monica showroom in Dec 2008. (See photo.)

The car became my daily driver for almost four years, until I upgraded to Model S Signature #00061.

I believe my Roadster may have been the very first EV to make the trip down Highway 1 from Big Sur to Cambria, in Oct 2009.

I kept the roadster garaged and in excellent condition until 2022, when it went to Gruber Motors for some work on various components and upgrades.

Only selling now because my current family life makes it impractical to keep, but I’ve loved every moment of ownership!
