They started making them in 1952 and between the coupe and the convertible
they built over 3250. I dont know what the breakdown between open and closed
models was.The coupe is worth big money probably a few hundred grand,
depending on condition, history etc. Way out of my league, but certainly on my
dream car list. If you are serious check out mags like "Classic and Sports Car"
or Motor Sports both British mags.
Dream on,
Clive Rigby.
