Clenet Coachworks
made just over 480 automobiles. In the following tables, we will try to
register the latest known owner and location of each Series Series III
Asha and Series IV. Information has been taken from
Clambakes, old Coachword articles and other sources. The data is far from complete so please
contribute
when you see errors, missing or old information. We often hear of cars for
sale or persons looking to buy a Clenet. Maybe we can help you but please
remember we are not dealers, just owner-enthusiasts.
The original Clenet Coachworks produced 36 Series III (Asha) automobiles. The first
14 had a hardtop, the following 22 were convertibles. The Carpinteria works then
produced 15 more convertibles from 1984 to 1986 bringing the total to 51.
Note, however that records have been lost and memories differ.
Many times, cars were built out of sequence. The Carpinteria period was a very sad time in Clenet history. It lasted only a very short time before filing bankruptcy. Alain Clenet was totally out of the picture during this period.

The Series IV was a Carpinteria venture and only one true production model was made. There were some 10 frames laid
out for this car, and some were assembled afterwards which
we classify as "nearly Clenets". The serial number of the car produced is out of sequence because the owner wanted
007 on the plaque. Certain people argue that the Series IV was not a Clenet at all since Alain Clenet had little to do with its production. It bears much
resemblance to a car Alain originally designed for the Japanese market.
