Hi Paul, the Bonham auction with a date of December 09 is all wrong. I have owned this car since 04 I believe. E

Further to my other Frua which I could not remember the details for, I have now located the information and the 3rd Fastback was chassis number CF48, registered at that time as VKM 661H. This was probably around 1990. In fact CF 42 and CF 65 were owned by me personally, CF14 and CF 48 were owned by the family business the Epping Motor Company. These days we tend to stick to more mundane and affordable classics like MG's and Triumphs ! I think I have located 1 or 2 photos which I will attempt to scan and e-mail to you,

Paul, finally found 2 or 3 ( poor ) photos, need your e-mail address to send them. Couldn't find one of CF42 as it's too long ago, but I have a couple featuring CF65 and one of CF 48. No pictures Of Jim Feldman's car CF14 when it was still Mushroom colour

Hi Paul, I was looking at your register, and notice a couple are listed as Status Unknown. CF20 is alive and well, and living in my garage! Paint colour changed to Ferrari Rosso Corsa Red before Bill and I bought her about 30 years ago. We changed the gearbox to manual and the wheels to Halibrand peg drive, as we had dozens of Cobra wheels and tyres which fit perfectly. Also I know that the Silver CFX 27 is actively being used over in Ireland. I recently spoke to the owner of CF48 who has the car in Germany, and is currently bringing it up to perfect condition. Hope that helps, Andy.

Thanks Andy. I'd often wondered if it was CF 20 but never got around to asking !! [:)] OK with CF 27 thanks....

Hi Paul, I have spoken to the current keepers of both CF 7 and CFX 22. The latter is with Camberley Marine and Sportscars, and looks lovely with its new chrome wire wheels. With the huge fan and cowl behind the radiator, it looks like any heating issues have been resolved! The former car CF 7 is with a private collector who has asked to remain anonymous, but it is great to know his car is in fine fettle and being well cared for. Thanks for keeping us all up to date, Andy.
