Post #5 in this thread lists the 5699s that were exported. Though a high percentage of 56 Carib convertibles have survived, it appears at least as of a few years ago, that NONE of the export cars are among the known survivors.

I do have an updated 5699 survivor list as of about a year ago, I'll check that and if one or more has surfaced, I'll edit this post.

UPDATE: Perhaps 2 of the export 5699s survived; #1122 is listed as of 1979 in Bethlehem, PA, and #1228 is listed as of 1988 in a museum in France. I have some recollection of seeing recent photos of this one and still in a European museum, perhaps our European "meister searcher" Gusha can track this down.
