Lot 5
A 1938 Austin Seven Ruby van, registration number XVV 734, chassis number 282141, green. This light commercial has formed part of a private collection. Originally starting life as a saloon, our vendor has painstakingly recreated the new body into its present van style staying as close to the original design as possible. He has purposely painted and finished the work in such a way as to recreate the impression of a used but well maintained example, just as it would have been in period. The interior has been trimmed in a similar vein, having only a driver's seat and passenger pad cushion as they would have had in period. Our vendor further advises us that the commercial will need some attention in regards the engine as it has a noisy bottom end (probably needs new white metal bearings). With light commercials now being very collectable this recreated van offers the next custodian a rare opportunity. The Austin will be offered for auction with a history file. V5C, MOT and tax exempt
£7000-8000 + 13. 2% Buyers premium (including 20% VAT)
Live bidding available through our website.
