Lloyd Alexander Frua Coupe
The German company Lloyd, part of the Borgward group, was known for making small two-cylinder engined cars of mediocre quality. A very famous saying in Germany at that time (the fifties) was: Wer den Tod nicht scheut, faehrt Lloyd (Could be translated as: He who is not afraid to die drives a Lloyd).
The Lloyd Alexander was the a small two door car with suicide doors capable of doing somewhat over 100 kph.
Nevertheless even Pietro Frua saw some potential in the car and according to his design 49 coupes were created, fitted with a 600 cc, 30 bhp engine, 5 more than the standard version. With a kerb weight of under 600 kg, the car could reach a 120 kph, not really so bad.
Very few of these cars have survived, and in 2003 two of them were brought to Schwetzingen, for the Concours d’ Europe.
