What's the average jelly bean car sell for now, Joe?

I don't think that's out of line for a REALLY nice example. Without a real good inspection I'd be skeptical of a Long Island car. But if it's done correctly, why not?

Something wrong with year as 1964 there are no door handles.

Cheers

Good eye, Mark. Earlier Mk-II car. That's waht I'm on about with a good "survey" before accepting it as billed.

Here's a beauty RWA in the NW.... I think the price is extremely reasonable for the work that has gone into this car. Be sure to check the link at the bottom of the ad for all the progress pics. Pretty impressive.

The side curtain roadsters were made until Feb 64, so it could be. You actually have to go by vin to find year of manufacture.
Title year doesn't really mean much with imports at that time. My MK 1 Midget is titled as a 64 but is actually a 63. Manufactured Jan 63, but not originally sold and titled until March 64. I learned a long time ago to say 63 when talking to parts people.

There were about around 450 MK 1 Midgets Made in Jan and Feb 1964, and if I remember right, just under 600 Mk 2 Sprites made in Jan and Feb, before the change over.
