Not to imply that my 69 Cobra is any where near the class of a Frua, but the roof line of the Frua reminds me of the roof line on my Cobra Sportsroof. I guess most fastbacks have a similar roof line. The Cobra has a scale smaller window but has a trunk.

Great looking car! License plate #1 must be a challenge to get and hold... story please!

Well, the story is not as challenging. That is the work of a little Photoshop. I have gotten into the habit of not showing my actual license number on the Internet. I don't know why for sure because anybody could get it on the road. I have just seen other people do it and thought it is probably a good idea. The license number starts with a 1 but the other digits are whited out.
 
Sly move.

I see craigslist cars obscure their plates one way or another. What sellers in Hawaii don't seem to bother to realize is that someone knowing your plate number (which is as easy to get as simply driving over for a look) doesn't provide useful information. You can't call DMV with a plate number and find out whose car it is, or where they live, and DMV won't even confirm ownership of a VIN or plate. Other jurisdictions are likely different, and maybe it's the pervasive culture of mediocrity here that prevents such info from flowing.
 
Hi guys.
I admit I have not read this entire thread again and in full but I seem to remember that
this sales add on mobile.de might be of general interest here (?).
With the ,registro frua’ being located in Germany this was perhaps already noticed
and discussed here ?

Anyone Know the Fate of Charlie Richardson's Frua Coupe?

Way back when the CS Register was a paper pub edited by Charlie Richardson, Charlie bought a wrecked one-off Frua coupe. The back issues of the CS Register are posted here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1QYF5vIO2Q-MDgzZDllYWEtNzE1ZS00MjZmLTkzNjAtZDZlMDNiMWY3ZTRh One of Charlie's...

The stripped body shows the line at which the E3 floor pan has been shortened for ca. 2 1/4 inches (between the white arrows). Could somebody provide similar photos of the original E3 floor pan for comparison?

Really amazing work with documentation and registry!

It is so great, coming from one interesting topic to another which appears even more astonishing!

This topic is amazing. I was a fan of Frua cars from the point I have seen it for the first time in a car magazine.
They appear much "sharkie" than BMWs.
Monteverdis are great looking cars too.
