My scanner doesn't cope very well with old B&W photos, but here are some pics of FXW6, the Embiricos 4 1/4 by Paulin, taken in London the late 50s:

That is one beautiful car. Is it still alive?

According to Octane it's now part of a private collection in California. I also seem to remember it was on show at Pebble Beach a few years back. Finished 6th at Le Mans in 1949(?) - unlikely to see a current Le Mans racer parked on the street in London today!

I love the 996 Turbo-style ventilators on the rear wheel arches.

Very much so. And there is at least one excellent replica in existence, too.

Zombieing this thread because this car was at Pebble Beach again this year...some footage on Carfection's YouTube channel of anyone's interested.
