While the car has been rejuvenated with marine varnish and some parts have been restored (hood frame, wheels, bonnet), the description also mentions that the car was being careful not to over-restore, the fabric is original. The car has some wear as a runaround car but has been well maintained by notable restorer Terry Dann.

The AF Spider was a joint venture between the race car sleuth, Colin Crabbe, also the man behind Antique Automoblies, the complete Automobilist and the designer, Alexander ‘Sandy’ Fraser.

Colin Crabbe, the larger than life character whose company Antique Automobiles was involved in, amongst many things automobile related, Grand Prix racing.

Not only did Colin give Neil Corner his one and only Grand Prix drive but later managed the well known team members and drivers such as Vic Elford and Ronnie Peterson.

Later, Colin famously discovered many interesting and valuable motor cars, firstly in Brazil and then Cuba.

During those Grand Prix years, his association with Alexander ‘Sandy’ Fraser, who was a Morgan three-wheeler fanatic, led to a project to produce a three-wheel production car that was fast, light, safe and could be used on a daily basis resulting in a nostalgically styled, but astonishingly rapid three wheeled sports car inspired by the like of pre- war Morgan.
