      I did speak with Bring A Trailer, and have watched the activity on
      their roadster auctions.
      <br>
      <br>
      From their responses, BaT really doesn&#39;t know what to do with a
      1600/2000 conversion.
      <br>
      <br>
      They don&#39;t value it as either a 1600 or a 2000, or a Solex car, o=

      for its Datsun Comp or reliability upgrades.
      <br>
      <br>
      So I&#39;m just proceeding privately, looking to clean out the sports
