"The FHC Sprint was the rarest variant, only 25 having been produced"

Tim,

How many still exist as FHC's?

I have just amended my post, since I should have made it clear that there were only 25 Federal, J Type Sprints produced. Only know of six in existence, though there are bound to be others I'm not aware of.

Whatever the headcount, and from what you describe, I would hope it's viewed as a prime candidate for as much conservation as possible, NOT restoration.

(Similar to scenario with the S3 Coupe that has recently surfaced here:

I've got a Sprint FHC in the States, but it's a RHD example, brought over by a US serviceman in the 70's... In 23 years of Sprint FHC ownership, I've never seen another one coming down the road toward me, be it a RHD or LHD example.
