"Roding Roadster" is full name ;)

Roadster 23 is just limited edition for a start.

Perhaps it would be helpful to add something to the title in order to differentiate it from this one:

It's prototype, maybe it should be titled "Roding Roadster Prototype"?

Yes, I saw that one when posting this but it seems to be a completely different car with only the name in common!
Not sure it really matters if there are 2 different puzzles with the same name, as any search will come up with both and they are clearly different cars, but I can include 'Prototype' as well; what was the other one then if not a prototype?!

On the official website Roding, this car is called "Roding Roadster 23" (limited special edition).  I think it is correct name.

So was the other one puzzled before!
Apparently this one is called '23' as they only intend to make 23 of them; I admire their optimism...
It doesn't say why the earlier one was called 23.  I wonder if they made 23 of those?  Somehow I doubt it...
