The story of the Austin Seven is well documented. The original British people’s car and the car which popularised the now universal control layout, the Austin Seven also gave life to several prestigious brands including BMW and Nissan – who built Sevens under licence – and companies like Jaguar which offered coachbuilt derivatives. Its simple A-frame chassis with leaf springing also formed the basis of numerous specials from single seaters to trials cars, all powered by the same 747cc engine. Capable of 40mpg and 40mph, the Chummy was one of the most popular derivatives alongside the RK saloon.

Having purchased the Austin in 1997, well-known racing driver Terry Sanger treated it to an extensive restoration five years later including the fitment of a new body supplied by Seven specialist John Heath. Understood to retain its original engine, the Chummy was retrimmed by ex-Bristol and ex-Rolls-Royce craftsman Frank Pritchard. Used for numerous Austin Club events up until 2013, the Tourer has been dry stored since then. Started and run on a regular basis, ‘DS 6992’ is deemed by the vendor to be in ‘very good overall’ condition with regards to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork.
