That WAS a short story.
I googled AC428 and Frua, and there is was. Yep, AC428 (not AC427 convertible) was built on a MkIII chassis, lengthened by 6".
It's actually not a bad looking car particularly considering that it first came out in 1965.
In appearance it looks to me a bit like a convertible version of a Bizzarini GT5300 (327 Chev powered) or a Maserati Mistral.
Cheers,
Glen
