This smart Crayford Mini Sprint in Tweed Grey was spotted this summer in Knokke-Heist, Belgium. I believe it could well be the car that was sold at Coys' Fontwell sale in 2017 (click here). It was registered 1070 PP in the UK at the time and right hand driven, while this one is lhd. The same car..?

Yes it is my old car 1070PP which I sold at Coys back in 2017 and was subsequently sold again by Bonhams again in 2019

Now marked on the DVLA website as 'exported'.
The irony is I live in Belgium and spent a lot of money transporting it back to the UK for the Coys sale (if only I'd thought of advertising it in Belgium in the first place!). I spent a fortune on restoring it from the ground up using all new old stock parts. 998cc Cooper engine, twin carbs, all synchro 1128 gearbox, Cooper speedo, 7.5 S disk brakes, Les Leston Grand Prix Steering Wheel, Lucas 608 mirror, Microcell Recliner front seats. It was a lovely car which I regretted selling!
Easy enough to convert from RHD to LHD.
