What a great car. Herbert Austin's masterpiece and one of the best cars of the 30's.

Here is the spec. Out of my original John Player cigarette card album.

Ad is slightly confusing - it's an Austin 7 not an 'A7'. The 'A' bit only came in for the Post-War cars etc. The body style is Ruby.

Engine and box are out ('for checking') but easily rectified - these are so straightforward. A really super thing. Huge club following. That doesn't seem expensive for something that's not a box of bits. 

Guaranteed to bring a smile to even the most jaded motoring fan.

I don't know what injectors are like on these (DW10?) but blimey, £500 feels like a bargain. Comfy economical estate cruiser for £800 and an afternoon's work (maybe). 

PF Jones has them at £100 recon £180 new incl vat so you could likely get a better price on a full set

I've toyed with the idea of a 125 bike or a cheap EV to use, just in and around my town. I also like the Mitsubishi I...

Peugeot, ION, Hatchback, 2012, Other, 1 (cc), 5 doors

So it's French* badged cousin does tempt me as well.  I know the range new was "about 90 miles", so no idea how much it'll have lost over the last 12 years, even with just 22k miles.  Granted, Even with 50 miles range it's enough for me to nip to my local Tesco and back a few times, and slap it on charge there every few trips.  Of course, the idea is good, but unless I street parked it or the Civic the idea is pointless as I'd have to swap the cars about in the drive all the time. Shame.

 

Also £3250, maybe the 125 would be a better idea.

The range on these was never "about 90 miles", unless you drove everywhere at a constant 8mph.  The realistic range when new was about 65 miles, less in the winter as they have a resistive heater which guzzles power.  They don't suffer as badly with battery degradation as some early EVs though so it's likely to still have most of its original range.

£3250 is a bit steep though, there are better EVs out there for that sort of money.

I was going to say I remember driving a press car one of these from Central London to Hertford in the winter and the predicted range dropped from 82 to 51 miles when I switched the heater on. The car had been on charge to 100% and I'd driven maybe 4 miles by that point. 

Fine for trundling around town I guess but really not much use to many people.

"I'll be straight up on this bit. You'll need to bleed the brakes, bleed the clutch, connect exhaust manifolds properly, give it a fine tune.... and you're away..."

That is spectacularly awful. It's been plate raped as well circa early 90's. Another detail that is NOT a lowlight car. It's 1962 according to the DVLA.

Surely it’s a respray? Had a full resto I’d have thought, judging by the interior. All very clean looking, but the pics do suggest there might be some rot appearing on the front and rear valances; wonder how straight it is underneath!
