I am always surprised when advertisers seem to take no care with their photographs - why didn't they bother to tidy up the interior and give it a clean?  Also it looks to me to be an auto, not manual. (I see it does say auto in the description later)

Is there a breakdown as to how many were automatics vs  manual transmission and how many coupes vs. cabriolet?

"Classicus" made an enormous effort in tracking down the existing Fruas, and published his findings here:

Yes, this Frua coupe belonged to Dean Versaw who was an avid AC enthusiast for many years here in the Phoenix area. His Ace and Aceca Bristol are visible in the background of one of the photos. Sadly Dean passed away in September of 2011.
