All parts that I collected recently on behalf of the Club from a garagiste living near Hamburg in Germany.
   
   He is a collector of the Glas make of motorcar (famous for the Goggomobile)who also produced the Glas 3000 - which was designed and bodied by Frua.
   
   Some years ago he contacted Fruas widow and arranged to buy the entire contents of the Frua workshop which happened to include some 428 parts...
   
   All the parts will go into the club stores. Quantities were mildly manipulated for '12 days' purposes but are broadly correct. Perhaps the glass and grilles will prove the most useful. I guess the random quantities indicate a somewhat chaotic production schedule or maybe it was just a case of an abrupt end.
