TR-Tec was founded in January of 2002 to manufacture hand built niche automobiles. The Backdraft Roadsters have evolved considerably over the past few years and established as one of the industry leaders in producing turnkey minus cars. The development of the Mark I Roadster started in December 2000. The first examples of the Mark I car were shown to the public in October of 2001. Backdraft products are developed with a Global vision. The cars are built in both left hand and right hand drive configurations to suit the requirements of the international community. In 2003 the production facility was consolidated into a 5,000sq/m building, south of Durban in South Africa. This new facility which provided space for manufacturing and the development of our products was essential in maintaining control in the production process of the roadster.
