Mike,
Rumor has it that 8 long lost Coupe bodies and chassis's have been found in a CS owned warehouse in Australia's outback. No details yet on the discovery of these right hand drive "export only" Coupes has been made public.

The sixth car was the big block coupe that was sold uncompleted when SAI closed shop:

Unless I'm mistaken all the cars are alive and well. Spector's car was the only MIA recently resurfaced.
Didn't know about the Aussie coupes... |

coupes
I have it on good authority that these "aussie" coupes were actually built under a lisence from SC (or is it CS) in Malta with the subassemblies being done in South Africa. Components were sourced from China and Korea, labor was forced from old EU nations. Cars bodies are reputed to be not aluminum...but rather made from "unobtainium" with a pinch of strongium for rigidity. Frames are done in the true Morgan fashion, but laminated.

The Korean connection was needed in order to use the name 'Daewootona Coupe' |
