Of course it does! It was little (and lovely) and then it got even
littler. From about 50/51 until the late 70's it was also known as the
J40 and took on the form of a pedal car for kids. Concours examples
now reach GBP2000 and the equals based on the pre-war Austin Seven
single seat racer go for even more. If we could send attachments, I'd
let you have a great picture taken in '99 of about 20 of them (both
shapes) in a row at the beginning of a race.

I think Andy's got a roof similar to the one fitted on the Herald
12/50 which had no drains. Andy, have you tried Radford who do/did de
Ville Mini upgrades?
