8426 UE known as the "Roadster"
[Chassis No: ST 450 S]
The restored Works "roadster" is shown below at a time when it was prepared for sale by auction in 2009. It was owned at that time by Mark Flanders who had tracked it down and bought it in Georgia in 1989. Raced six times in the 90's, it was restored by Euro Coach in 2007.
