<HTML>Dear Peter, From the Stanley records, there were 789 Model F Stanleys produced from 1905 through 1908. There isn't a break out presently available to tell us just how many were built only in 1906. Looking at the Sprague register for 1990, there were four 1906 model F Stanleys listed. It would be safe to say that there is probably eight of them left in the world. And a general guess would be that six of them are presently in running condition. Any other educated guesses out there? From my 1957 Register of Antique Automobiles, there wasn't any 1906 F Stanleys listed, so there have been a few that have came out of the wood work between 1957 and 1990. It is possible that someone may yet build a model F using just a model F 20 hp engine. It would be an easy task and most likely will happen.</HTML>
