Well, I may have a few pictures...
This is one of a number of models AC built after Cobra production
stopped in the late '60s. There are at least two US owners because I
recall reading a letter in the club magazine not too long ago written by
an owner. Seems like he lived somewhere in the northwest. And a 1969
428 Frua coupe is listed for Jim Feldman of Portland, OR ( ACOC club rep
for the US). I'm quite sure this isn't the car the letter referred to.
Perhaps Jim will show his coupe at the Portland meet one of these years.
Then again, maybe he won't since he owns at least 13 other ACs including
a Frua convertible.
