This is possibly the best little Austin Seven we have ever offered for sale, it really is a gem of a car and wants nothing but enjoying, it even has the essential wicker picnic hamper ready to pack up the nibbles and head off for some motoring adventures.
Exceptionally well presented and great fun, 1938 Austin Seven Ruby, it has a lovely smart interior that anyone will happily climb into and solid coachwork with a very deep shine to the paint, its ready to admire and enjoy, all running and operating as intended and has clearly been cherished by a caring owner, everything very well maintained and in good serviceable order.
It has lovely little touches with a complete period badge bar gracing the front end, a lift off period suitcase that contains a snugly fitting picnic hamper sitting on the fold away luggage rack, there’s a collection of period tools under the seat and in the bulkhead tool box, a selection of framed prizes and awards and another frame of restoration pictures.
The pictures say it all, the car has massive amounts of charm, you can’t drive it without a grin on your face, a smile every mile guaranteed, it’s just as clean and solid underneath as you see on top, watch the video we show every bit of the underside, all the tyres are nearly new with no age cracks or splits, including the spare. Everything is very well greased up, the brake cables and adjusters are all moving freely, the chassis is in amazing condition, cleanest we have ever seen and not plastered in thick under seal.
No untoward bangs, clang’s or rattles as you move along, gears select easily with a sharp clutch, 4 speed gearbox, brakes work very well (see video), good handbrake, the lights work and modern indicators have been discreetly fitted, the old trafficators still work (with a tap on the door pillar), as does the horn and wiper, the pre electronic air conditioning (titling windscreen) operates and the winding side windows glide up and down and the sliding sunroof works easily, with everything open on a hot day it’s delightful.
We have the current modern logbook, several older logbooks, its HPI clear, some of old MOT’s, service / parts invoices, old tax discs, some leaflets and A5 booklets, it also comes with two sets of keys. Originally registered in Ireland and still retaining its Irish registration number on a current British DVLA logbook.
It presents really well and will be admired wherever you go, paint finish is far above average for one of these prewar cars, it’s not immaculate and very close inspection will find minor imperfections, that said this car will bring home trophies.
Have some fun with your savings, you bank manager isn’t doing you any favours with your boring ISA, tick the box off your bucket list and own a vintage car, won’t be worth any less when you’ve had your enjoyment, these cars are currently excellent value for money.
Probably the best value Seven on the market today, ideal for a buyer who just wants to enjoy it this summer, not do loads of work.
