The only advantage to having a round arch car is that you may be able to use
a rear wheel with a wider offset and minimize tire rub.  I do not believe
there is any price advantage to a round arch car, or for that matter, a
1970...(the only year with a split rear bumper), and certianly not for a '74
(those HUGE bumper overriders).

The only Spridgets that might carry "extra" value would be the 1100cc Mk 1.5
car with side curtains  (relatively rare), and the '67 1275  (most powerful,
last non-smog car).

Generally, pre- 68 cars are worth more.. steel dash, no smog, chrome bumpers,
no side markers, etc.
