Classicus,
   First of all, I need the photos in higher resolution. Second I am a historian and name my sources. With respect to copyright the most important source is the author. The author can transfer the rights of usage to others. But he will stay the author forever. The author of a photography is the photographer. So, I would like to add YOUR name to the photos which YOU took of CF 62. Please contact me directly via e-mail, if you want discuss this topic further.

Hello Stefan,
   
   How are you? how is the registry going?

   Hello Emmanuel,
   
   Thank you I am fine. Though I did not have the time to push the Frua registry as far as I would like, because I just finished writing a book (not Frua). There are several hundreds of cars which I do research on and my time has to be divided amongst them.
   Unfortunately I don't have the time to visit the AC Owners Club Forum very often and I could not find a possibility to get informed via e-mail about new entries as it is usual in other forums. Therefore it is better to contact me via e-mail. Nevertheless I can offer to document the Frua bodied ACs on my website and I will include all information which I get. I already have collected a lot of information on the AC 428 Coupés, but it is still very incomplete and I did not find the time yet to publish it on the website. Contributors are warmly welcome.
   
   To those who criticised the English translation on my website: Unfortunately I started the website several years ago in German, because I was not aware about the international interest it would evoke. Therefore I later added the link to the automatic translation, which is a machine translation and therefore far from perfect and sometimes funny. I hope that it is at least better than to read the website in German for those who don't understand that language.

   Hi Stefan
   
   Well that is amazing after all these years ! I've often wondered what happened to DLX....[:)] Was it actually sold in 2006 or is it still for sale ?
   
   If it's ok with the Club(?), when I get a few moments I'll post them all back into this thread again.
   
   You have a very good and informative website. A lot of hard work gone into it, well done [:)]
   

   
   Hi Classicus,
   
   You can send me the photos directly via e-mail and I will post them on my website. Please add your full name and city, so that I can acknowledge your copyright properly.
   
   Unfortunately I do not know, if CF 62 has been sold or not. It was announced for the Kruse auction at Monterey (18. Aug 2006) but is not included in the results list. There was an ad at collectorarads.com in May 2006 naming the private seller Craig White (phone 760-436-9313). Perhaps somebody from the USA can just call and ask him.

I delayed posting these pics of fastback DLX 55J a day or so just in case anyone might have heard of or (amazingly !) be the current owner as obviously it’s not pretty viewing at all.
   I answered a very brief ad. for this car back in about ’78 or ’79 and travelled up from London to Chesterfield to see it as the guy said it was repairable, also it sounded cheap at £2000 !!
   Nevertheless I decided to keep the photos as I felt it could one day be useful historical proof for any future Register.
   

   Hello Classicus,
   
   Thank you very much for these very interesting photos of DLX 55J which is chassis no. CF 62. The restored car (colour: white) has been offered for sale in 2006.
   Could you please send me your photos in higher resolution for my Registro Pietro Frua (www.pietro-frua.de)?
