my question "aero ersatz?"because I went and saw an Aero Super Sports for sale last year.Not bought because of family dissession.I had comments : the 2 cars are totally different,Aero is a modern car,more expensive,not so exclusive,(perhaps ?) more watertight and too a piece of history...
personal story : in 1989 (!) I have seen by chance the Lea Francis Ace of Spade 2 door Saloon.When I contacted the Sales Manager,he told me that a Drophead Coupe was on the drawing board and promised to send me full details of the car as soon as it is possible.After some promiting negotiations he was never heard again...5 cars were built actually,most of them were FHC in my opinion.
