Hi Mike
The first 50 Confortevole's were fitted with these frames, I'd guess that there may have been some left-over frames at the end of the lightweight run, (+- 600 cars), and Luigi-on-the-line fitted them to the first 50 Confortevole's - the window glass is smaller to fit into the aluminium channel.
I visited the friend with the blue Confortevole this morning & looked at the car, the frames are incredibly thin & while I haven't compared them physically to a Lightweight, they may in fact be the same frames, but with a different insert to take either wind-up glass or sliding plexiglass ??
One day I'll get to seeing a genuine lightweight, but as far as we know, there is only one lightweight left in South Africa & the owner is reluctant to let people see it.......
Ciao
