About this car

A 1937 Austin 7 in open two-seater form, the Opel-style special built on the pre-war Seven's tiny chassis. It is the sort of car that suits trials and club events as much as gentle road use.

The page says it had a total restoration some years ago and remains in very good condition. It has since been fitted with a recent Pigsty trials engine, described as giving good performance, and comes with full weather equipment. Mileage, colour and registration are not stated.
