Title: Bonhams Sale 21.04.2008
Post by: davidhickman on April 17, 2008, 22:57:07

Evening gentlemen,
   Much as I'd like it myself, I thought I'd do the decent thing and draw your attention to a sale at Bonhams on 21st April 2008.
   It's for an original Frua sales brochure - Lot 62.
   The link is below. Let us know who buys it, and no squabbling!
   Good luck,
   Regards David

A typically wild, over-optimistic auction estimate. If it gets anywhere near that price, in that condition, I shall be stunned & amazed. That makes the mint condition copy that I liberated from Thames Ditton, worth about £200+. Any offers??

I fear not. The earlier red bodywork version seems to be  a little rarer than the green but both versions all come up on Ebay quite often usually selling for £15-30.

Big summer classic car shows with their autojumble book and magazine stalls are definitely worth checking out. Just missed a good clean copy for a fiver couple of years ago ! [:(]

It seems my kind offer has been dismissed. The price is now £500 - get it while you can, you know you'll regret it later!! :-)

Sold for 48 quid all-in. So form an orderly queue to consign for the next sale...mind you minimum commission is probably 30. [:)]

Hello, I bought it.  Owner of convertible CF 9, this brochure will nicely fit in my documentation.  Kind regards, Damien

Congratulations Damien, it's good to know that I've helped someone on here and that another albeit little piece of classic material has found it's way into the same hands of someone on this forum.
