1932 Austin 7 RN De Luxe Saloon

The delightful Austin 7, here in RN De Luxe Saloon guise, continues to be supremely popular, an outstanding feat for an economic runabout designed over a century ago. PJ 5487 first appeared at a DVCA auction in 2014 after undergoing a full restoration to a very high standard, with much supporting photographic and invoice evidence. Diligence was employed on a complete interior re-trim, a re-paint and general cosmetic attention; mechanically, the Austin was overhauled and thoroughly checked, with a rebuilt radiator, a re-wired electrical system and new tyres fitted. The underside was excellent and the sunshine roof worked effortlessly; the only non-standard addition was flashing indicators, which were wisely added for safety.

The Baby Austin has since been in the careful ownership of a gentleman who has very sadly recently passed away. It has been well maintained during the last decade and is now described as remaining in very good order throughout with no changes to its condition, apart from the addition of white coach lines. The motor car has been in storage for approximately one year and although it has been up and running recently, the new owner may wish to carry out a cursory recommissioning service before embarking on a longer journey.

PJ 5487 is offered with three files of invoices, maintenance and other data of interest, photographs etc, plus the V5C registration certificate, an older V5 and the RF60 registration book.
