I always liked Costin's designs, definitely one of those free thinking guys. If you ever get the chance the book "Flying on Four Wheels" by Dennis Ortenburger (spelling ?) is all about Frank and his designs. A friend bought an Amigo back in the 70s and looked like something from outer space !

wow. We "collect" old books, usually non-motoring fiction stuff but I never realised they'd gone up that much. I clearly have a retirement fund......

bought one of ebay for £38 inc carriage which I thought was a bargain as they usually start at £100 + carriage, thats me for the Bank Holiday Weekend
