I had a look at the 16/80 on the Fort Lauderdale auction and it seemed pretty correct. The chassis plate seemed to tie up with the photos. The car number is S10886 and the type is SWS.T7. It did indeed carry a T7 body and "SWS" refers to it having a Wilson gearbox.
Take a look at https://rmsothebys.com/...-type-special/544914
With 10% buyer's premium the car sold for the equivalent of around £56,0000 so if it is as tidy in the flesh as it looked in the pictures, it was reasonably priced.
Don't forget that to a avoid a disaster with a 16/80, one should change the dural con rods for new steel ones. If this had already been done on this car, that would be a big plus.
I wonder where it will next turn up?
