"This will not be of any use in your search for numbers but I have an anecdote about Celi.

In 1983 I had been keeping an FF1600 on the ground floor of a large repair garage in Brussels. I never had any reason to go to the first floor. One day, the garage owner introduced me to a M. Celi & told me he used to manufacture F. Vees & Supervees upstairs.
I took up the offer to take a look & was immediately dumstruck at what I saw. The whole floor was a fabrication workshop complete with engine dyno!

There were numerous monocoques, complete or otherwise, engines, gearboxes, bodywork, wishbones & spares of all descriptions. Enough to make several cars. M. Celi had obviously given up & just left the workshop. I never found out why as I only met him the once - a diminutive but very pleasant man.

I had thoughts about putting in an offer for the place and constructing a 2 litre sports car with an engine he claimed was giving great horsepower. Never came to fruition though.

On a recent visit I noticed the whole place is now a large furniture store I could not trace the previous owner"
