This is why I'm almost glad that the Roadster's run ended in 1970. Can you
imagine what
the late '70s smog regulations would have done to the Roadster? I had a '74 510
for a few
months when I was in college. It was such a dog compared to my '70 Datsun
Pickup - and
with the same basic L-16 engine - that I sold it and kept driving my truck.
