No. I think she was a brunette (unlike the tv series) and surely she had a better car than a roadster? Still, I see how it fits.

When I said old favorite, I meant going way, way back.

My first thought when I saw "roadster" was Nancy Drew but in the books I read, and the TV show I remember, she was brunette, so I thought I was wrong and didn't respond.
Did they make another TV show that has her as a redhead?


Also, anyone besides me learn the term "riparian" from the picnic episode of Keeping Up Appearances?

After a quick google, it appears Nancy Drew's hair color varied from book to book - so no wonder if we all remember it differently!

Nancy started out as a 16-year-old blonde. Her age was later upped to 18 and her hair color morphed to "titian." Later the color was often referred to as strawberry blond.

In TV adaptations, she's had light brown, brunette, and reddish hair (probably other colors as well). I don't think of her as a redhead, but the part of the clue that threw me was "runs" ("Redhead in roadster runs riparian burg"), which seems to indicate some sort of public official.
