Is this one known? A bit pricey at €30,000 especially at today's exchange rate, but if you really want one, where else will you find it?

Edit: Should do my research first! Looks like it's probably OY 8726 (on the Register as being in Italy,and white in colour).

Talking of values of Austin Sevens, was the sale of the Bantam Roadster at Gooding & Co, at Phoenix, Arizona the highest ever? $US90,200 - don't know whether there was a buyer premium or not. The sale was reported in The Automobile of April 2012, with no comment. There was an Ulster at the same sale, sold for $US30,800, and there were vehicles such as Duesenberg which were well into seven figures. I believe the Bantam was well restored, but don't know the condition of the Ulster. Those in the American Bantam fraternity regard the sale as a bit of a fluke, with the real value being more like $50,000. Anyway with that in mind it makes the Arrow look like a bargain, as it looks to be in pretty good order judging by the picture.

No comment on the Arrow, but the Bantam was overpriced. And the Ulster did not appear to be a genuine one, but an Ulsteroid.
