You got it George :-)

Like l said not many of those about, 40 at the most were produced from memory. Look sweet anyway. What's the detail like, read somewhere Angelo had very high standards for his cars. Is it one of Angelos or a later one??. How long you had it??

I don't know if its early or late, I think body is #199. Its registered as 1983 and the detail is very well done. The doors shut with a nice thud and the car is a blast to drive. Currently has a 1983cc type 1 engine with dellortos.

I've had this car about 15 years and every year I try to improve something on the car. That is my green 356 also but the Envemo is more fun to drive.

You may already know, Beck have the moulds for the Super 90 and build them on their own tube chassis now as opposed to the Vw pan. You may be able to get some parts from them??. Kevin Hines was about at the beginning with Angelo and would be a good guy to talk to about you Cab.

Have you any pictures under bonnet and boot and dash area??

Great car...coupe moulds and associated were burnt in a fire? Thought there were more than 40 made though?

You could be right?? , l read that the Coupe moulds were damaged in the fire. Nothing was mentioned about the Cab moulds from memory?? Which lead me to believe they survived.

Stand by 200plus coupes were made and less than 50 Cabs. 40 in the 70's by Angelo and a few in the 80's by CBP.

I have spoken with Kevin and am hoping he can get me a backup windscreen. Beck made a couple of these cabs in recent years and were available for 50,000 USD.

I will post more pictures when I get chance.
