Market commentary

This is a cute little Austin, but, wow, what a price for it. Unless, that is, the buyer coveted the distinctive registration, FF 222, and paid through the nose to get it. Distinctive, early registrations are a wild card in many British car transactions. Its not uncommon to see a number like this bring $10,000 or even $15,000 from someone with the initials FF and a February 22 birthday.
