Loads of Roadster owners on here so someone will pop up in a minute.

My 23 year old car doesn't have a trace of it but had only covered 18,000 miles when I got it and now she is up to 37,000 miles used all year round by me for 8 years but never on salted roads.

So I'm thinking yours must be an all weather high miler.

Have done a bit more digging around and it's brake related as the other side was hoses attached. The picture is looking from underneath and the top tside, along with the servo look in pretty decent condition. There are no leaks so think it might just need a bit of rust converter to prolong its life. It's done 45k but prior yo me acquiring it, it was garaged over in the lakes and used in all weather. The underseal could do with some attention so I think once I've treated the rust, I'll top up the underseal and give it a lick of paint to protect it further.
