Yup, there's a front view picture of a Frua convertible in the
newsletter and it looks a lot like a Maserati.
I'm surprised to learn there were more than 80 cars. While the notes
with the Register don't comment on this I was left with the impression
that all cars were included for a number of reasons:
1. The chassis numbers were listed consecutively from 1-80.
2. Known destroyed cars were included.
3. One chassis number was listed without any accompanying
information.
4. The VERY close relationship between AC Cars and the ACOC.
A number of entries only indicated FB or FB A . Anyone know what that
might mean?
