For Sale is a 1938 Austin 7 Ruby mk2. This car has had a substantial amount of mechanical work done two it over the past few years making it a very reliable little run around. The car sits very happily at 35-40. The rear brake shoes have been replaced and all brakes adjusted so stopping is as good as it gets. The car doesn’t consume water or oil other than a slight leak from the tappet cover which I’m sure could easily be rectified. The car has had regular dry weather use and has been on some long runs with no issues. The paint and interior is showing its age and not perfect however as can be seen from the pictures it is very presentable.
If you have any questions feel free to give me a bell. Below is a list of all work carried out on the car. All parts have been bought from the 7 workshop and receipts will be included in its pile of papers.
