I am sure that in the Archive there is an Austin official publication that says that no dealer has the right to sell a new car at anything less than list price. It is in the pile of 'ephemera' that I am slowly trying to work through and assess..
And Bob, a DeLuxe version of the 7 was far more than the sliding roof. Leather upholstery instead of Rexine, chrome on the lamps etc instead of painted. I would imagine the DeLuxe looked a far nicer option for the extra £10.
As an aside, if you look closely at the Tickford vrsion, you will notice that they are converted from Standard models as they didn;t pay the extra for the sliding roof as it was just cut off anyway...
