£5750 i saw it when it was still for sale,the head and carbs speedwell? probably worth £700 nice seats £500 didn't think the rest of the car was worth £4500 looks pretty grotty to me.
It will probably appear on fleabay soon for £10000 or maybe more with all the waffle better than money in the bank,great investment,very very rare,original,amazing etc etc..

I assume the car was being stored in Australia :D

Not too confident about the claimed "Speedwell Heritage".

That looks remarkably like on of my Speedwell badges & if it was "genuine" it would have the cad plated Rocker cover, not the post 1967 Chrome one.

I think the only Speedwell bits were the carbs so yes quite alot of money for what was there.

Would a Speedwell rocker cover have a breather ?

Yes.

The chrome one that is on there is a 1300GT one or a late 1300 Vanden Plas. These didn't have breathers.
