Around 1970 the typical price for a very nice RK saloon was the same as a brand new Mini; over the years I have always used that as a barometer for Austin Seven values. It has fluctuated a bit, with the Austin value sometimes rather more, and occasionally rather less, than the price of the cheaper small cars on the market. That puts an RK today at around £10,000 - £11,000 which is probably about right.
Similarly, I have always considered an open car to be valued around 50% more than an equivalent saloon, so that would put a very nice late-1920s chummy at around £16,000, again probably not far out. There has always been the occasional special vehicle which bucks the trend, but the V & P car under discussion here hardly seems to be that remarkable, with several features which would put the purist off.
