How many topless Amazones are still around?

• 

Concours d'Elegance Antwerp is a small yet high quality show. The atmosphere is so good that you have the impression to spend a weekend with family and friends (check for yourself!). And in a way it is. Among dozens of super highlights our eyes were attracted to a very special 'every day' car. A 1963 Vovo Amazon, who cares? Wait, this is not just one of the 700.000 built but one of the handful convertibles built by Brussels coachbuilder Counes on the two-door 122 S.
There are only 5 or 6 made by the Belgian builder Jacques Coune and this is the only one still on the road. Now we understand several Convertibles were built in the USA as well. Correct, or? 
Coune is mostly known for a later creation being the MG Berlinette (MGB based) of which a number of 56 was made.
