dsl ◊ 2022-06-04 17:45	581 MPH (not bad for 948cc) is a blue Frogeye, Dec 59 (Surrey series, Nov 59 to Nov 60 "Allocated in blocks"), "Tax - Not taxed for on road use", Date of last V5C (logbook) issued 9 January 1984, Export marker No. Probably on display somewhere - eg a museum. Frogeyes with side flashes are often Alexander-tuned in various styles and with body tweaks, although this looks unchanged. So I suspect Alexander but unconfirmed, but seems this one still exists somewhere so is a known car, although no info found.
