An expensive one with that basket-weave pattern - Radford or Hooper? |

@electra225: what's an "Austin Mini 850 Ratford"? Most are listed with Radford as make, so I'm changing this back to 'unknown' for now. |

I don't think this is a Radford, Hooper or any of the other UK luxury conversions because they seem to have first emerged in 1963. The only upgrades I can see are the wicker effect and possibly a sidemarker on front wing - everything else (sliding windows, interior as far as it can be glimpsed, wheels) looks normal French Austin 850, with the dinky little added reflectors on rear units. So a local dress-up like the R4 Parisienne - was that an official factory-made model or a popular (dealer-fitted) accessory?? Was it stick-on fablon or similar. |
