Gman, 156 thousand would be too high for an auto, but is right for the last of the model 4 Specials.
So fellas, I've decided to call it a day on restoring an Auto and will concentrate on a couple of Rotos for a bit. As a result of the downsize, I've decided to offload my Automatic collection beginning with my NOS front flap I've put it up on ebay for a price that's quite a bit lower than I've been offered, but it's still a damned expensive thing I admit. I'll see how it goes, I guess. If it doesn't sell I'll just pop it in storage for a decade or so until I can find the time and resources to do it justice
One last contribution for the record, anyway. There was a bit of discussion as to wether the Automatic ever had a V code. According to this, it looks unlikely:
