I seem to have hijacked this old thread, so I'll add this one more thing:

There is a Frua for sale in Australia.

It appears that the owner has done an excellent job bringing it back to life.

It's been brought down to bare metal (Italian steel=rust), and had some pretty tasty engine work. It is a RHD car, but (consider this!) the ACOC actually has ORIGINAL LHD interior parts in their stocks. And all Fruas (I think) were made to be either RH or LH drive cars. The mounting brackets for Brakes, Clutch and accelerator are in place.

You car find the car on the "oldtimer australia" website.

DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER TURNING IT INTO A COBRA ROADSTER (this just a friendly warning - it's been done; a mistake)

The price is (in my humble opinion) very fair. I have no horse in this race.

I realize this car may not be to the taste of many on the Club Cobra forum. We all have our opinions.

My opinion: These cars are undervalued. They're much rarer than their Cobra (brothers? cousins?) counterparts, and if you want to tour the car, way more driveable. (It's a coupe. Install Air conditioning, a radio and insulation).
