John, Dennis badly damaged B8/107 and swapped it with Royce for his personal Fibrecar F8/48(No idea why that particular No. - the Red Sports in your photos), Dennis owned this car when still in Vic. registered BOLLY8. Royce kept B8/107 and Richard Windham took it to Qld after Royce died, the car was rebuilt possibly with a spaceframe chassis and a new Sports body then sold to someone in Canberra (?). What happened to the original body and chassis? Another interesting story. PeterG

Over time Coupes appear to be an endangered species due to their conversion to Sports.
