About this car

This is a supercharged Austin 7 sports/racing special from 1930, built as a two-seater and aimed at vintage competition as much as road use. The page names VSCC and 750 Motor Club events among its intended uses, and the 19-inch wheels place it in the VSCC vintage class.

Power comes from a Cozette No. 5 supercharger and a Phoenix 1.5-inch crankshaft. The page quotes 61 bhp at 6,000 rpm and 63 lb/ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. That is a lot for an Austin 7, and the car is described as very light. It has a three-speed vintage gearbox and cable brakes.

The dealer describes it as drives and handles well. Mileage, registration and ownership history are not given, and a full specification is available from the dealer on request.
