As far as I know the car is still for sale.  The guy
(Bill Alexander) that is restoring it doesn't seem to
want to let go of it and is not very coopertive.  Dirk
and I have both talked to him and got the same
impression.  He wants to keep getting paid for working
on the car and seems prepared to stall until someone
agrees to take over paying the bills, but we can't get
him to give evidence of where all the money has been
spent. In his favor, I have to say that Bill does
excellent work. He did Fritz' other P5.  Diane has way
too much money in it now and someone would have to
settle with her and go to Bill's (somewhere in the Bay
Area?) and collect all the bits.  The body work is
done but it hasn't been painted (or was painted once
and Fritz didn't like the color) and the upholstery is
at a different shop.  All very complicated and a sad
situation for what is a very rare car.  Sold new in
Switzerland, LHD stick w. OD Mk. III Coupe.  One of a
very few with this configuration.
