For consignment, a "Baby Austin Seven" from 1929.  This car is in barn find condition, and was made in England in June of 1929 according to the numbers.  It is a right hand driver, has a 747cc mini 4 cylinder engine, and is a snappy little convertible with seating for 4.  A great little small family car made for the people who are just starting up, and also produced to evade the "horsepower tax" in Britain.  It's nice to see politicians were already thinking of creative ways to squeeze more money out of the general public way back in 1929. NO TITLE-SOLD ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY Exterior With the ubiquitous 1920's and early 1930's design of a vertical radiator, (this one is nice and shiny), cowled hood, wide firewall and single door per side"tub" for the passengers, also throw on some curved exterior fenders and we are ready to roll.  This car is painted in mustard yellow and has black fenders.  As noted a shiny radiator surround is in front flanked by a single circular headlight on either side.  A framed large windscreen protects the passengers as well as a canvas top which is dirty, has a few tears and a clouded plastic rear window.  On the back of the car is room for luggage or storage in the form of a steel black painted rack in lieu of the rear bumper.  Also a spare tire and wheel is mounted to the back of the bodywork.  19-inch wire wheels are on and wrapped by 3.50-19 rubber, dry rotted and going flat. Interior Yellow vinyl in the form of bomber low back styled front buckets and a rear bench all have some light tuck and roll inserts for the seats and backs with smooth bolsters.  The seats are still in fair to good condition and basically just need a good cleaning.  Upfront, a butterscotch dash in full metal is on and has a few instruments, some levers, and in front of the steering column an oil pressure gauge.  This column has a large steering wheel attached to its top which is encircled in metal.  The floors are ribbed rubber/plastic and a shift lever reaches for the driver.  There are two storage areas which are missing their doors on either end of the dash front.  Door panels are yellow smooth vinyl and present as very simple and utilitarian.  The framework for the canvas too is in good conduit as it moves up and down easily. Drivetrain Under the cited hood is a 747cc 4 cylinder engine.   It has a 1-barrel carburetor and a 3 speed manual transmission on the back with a 4.90 rear axle.  Overall the engine bay has plenty of dull and patina finish and even a slight bit of surface rust, but it's all intact. Undercarriage Some surface rust, but none invasive, and we note transverse leaf springs for the front and leaf springs for the back.  Mechanical drum braking is on all 4 corners, the front brakes are operated by a hand lever, and the rears are with the foot pedal. An interesting barn find in "Mini" style, a design often copied and lent to many worldwide auto manufacturers which include the likes of BMW, ( DIxie), France, (Rosengarts), Nissan, (Took the Design), and the USA where it was under American Austin.  Will need a bit of TLC but in the end a unique piece of motoring history making it available for the young families.

This shiny little convertible can seat 4 or even 5 if one is a bit smaller in stature for the back seat. It is in very nice condition overall so let's check out the British version of the model T. And all from a company which would eventually lead to the creation of Jaguar. Exterior An all steel body is led by a black radiator surround with an Austin badge, temp gauge radiator topper and a hand crank. A small steel plate would serve as the bumper if you will, and shows a bit of rust. Flanking the radiator on either side are curvaceous black fenders which eventually turn into running boards and move rearward into a small back fender framing the rear spoked wheels. These all present in black, just like the firewall exterior mounted headlights just below a shiny window frame. The body is all rust free and is bathed in red, from the bonnet to the doors and side panels, and the back of the car which has a spare tyre attached to another black steel plate bumper. On top is a canvas folding top which opens up the entire cockpit to the fresh air. This is a contrasting beige color canvas and is in very nice condition and includes a small rear window. Nice and tidy, a mini model T and decidedly British. Interior A right hand drive car and really the first car to utilize a 3 pedal setup which included a petrol pedal, brake pedal and a clutch. ( Model T's used pedals to shift and are somewhat confusing to drive comparatively). The doors are covered in smooth black vinyl as are the padded and tuck and rolled bomber styled buckets in front and a bench for the back. A simple black full metal jacket dash houses a few instruments and is fronted by a large steering wheel with a throttle lever firmly placed in its center. On the black carpet and rubber floors we see a handbrake which operates the front brakes, and the rear braking is reserved for the floor pedal. A horizontal shift lever reaches for the driver's left hand. A view of the inside of the top reveals black framing and clean beige canvas above. Drivetrain Under the cowled bonnet is a snappy little flathead 4 cylinder engine which measures out to be 747cc's it pumps out 10.5hp, is fed by a 1 barrel carburetor, and has a 3 speed manual transmission. The overall engine bay is in nicely preserved condition, and consignor states that although it currently does not start due to needing a new starter, the car will run well. On the back is a 4.4 rear axle. Undercarriage On the bottom we can see some patina black paint but very little rust. On front the ride is provided by transverse leaf springs, and the rear takes on quarter elliptical leaf springs. Mechanical drum brakes are on all 4 corners and these are in the center of 19 inch wire wheels. The exhaust system is in good condition. Drive-ability With a new starter installed as well a as a fresh battery and some fuel this old girl fired right up and off to the test track I went. Here it exhibited good acceleration and on par braking and handling for a car of its era. A bit small on the inside for this larger than life writer but once inside and acclimated it was quite a comfortable cruise. "Nearly everybody's got a motor car today Whatever make it is, it's the best of all, they say. Well you can keep your 'Austin Cowley' and your 'Essex Six' Believe me, they're not in it with my little bag of tricks It's an Austin Seven, a little baby Austin The cutest little car upon the road..." From a 1932 song written and sung by Clarkson rose, it sums it up nicely. Not oft seen from jolly old England, with a new starter will provide eye-catching looks and plenty of enjoyment..Cheerio! https://www.classicautomall.com/vehicles/4018/1926-austin-seven-ad Austin Seven
