James, Chris had mentioned earlier that the differences were that the Speedy had a shorter column and an Ashby wheel, while the Type 75 had a Blumels wheel and a longer column. Also, the Speedy had cloth wiring whereas the Type 75 still had armored. This car has cloth so I will be converting to armored. It was also my understanding that no or few Speedys were assembled by Austin. Most of this info came from Nick Turley who had a very nice Speedy.The hammer price was 26500, which I feel quite good about, given the general consensus was that it could and should go for close to 40,000. I believe Nick's car went for that four years ago, and that was near mint, from what I understand.
