How many of these little beauties are in the UK? I have no idea! Is there some kind of a register of known ones? 8)

Trust me - if you own a classic like this you have duty to ensure it is on the road. I would guess that more than 70% are working.

Not many of these rusting the shed (I hope)

:oops: Ok OK I will get back on the 54 Project this year.......

Well as for the numbers, your right I am looking into it more and I am going to try and build a 356 reg site for the UK to see what numbers are out there.

Any info would be great to get a picture of numbers

Just finishing a mildly customed '55 Speedster,so there's another! and I know of a RHD Cabriolet we did a few years ago,and I restored the first RHD 356 sold by AFN many years ago,that was a '54 now in Australia I think.
