So I'm guessing it's Something Roadster, with the first word being the name of the builder, which included a G and a B ?

We've already established it's a Reliant-based Special but I don't know of a name for it beyond that; what we're looking for now is its builder, which is what the hint referred to.  So Roadster is not the second word, but the first word includes the 'B'!

No, but the first 2 letters are correct and there's a 'b' in it..

If R***** is not part of the builder's name it has to be part of "a name for it beyond that (Reliant Special)?

That's exactly what it is!

It's a 1984 Reliant Fox-based special built by Gibson Restorations.  I can't remember where they were, it was either London or somewhere like Glouestershire.

Well done!

Maybe, but it took someone over a year to come up with it!
