This 1969 AC 428 Fastback Frua is a used car showing 1,336 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Red Metallic with a Black interior.
Frua's fastback is the rarer of the two 428 bodies, and this one was first registered in June 1969 with a manual gearbox, where most buyers took the automatic; AC historians put the number of manual cars at no more than six. It was once part of a large Middle Eastern collection.
The paint has been renewed once, for looks only, but the cabin remains entirely as built, its hide still soft and carrying an attractive patina. A specialist has serviced the car recently. The dealer reports a smooth, strong V8, a pleasant shift and no stray noises, a fine long-distance tourer. It is kept in the dealer's storage site and can be seen by appointment.
The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.
AC Cars built the 428 from 1965 to 1973, 81 cars in all: 51 fastback coupés and 30 convertibles.
