An intrinsic part of the ‘specials’ scene since Pre-War days, the Austin Seven has a unique place in the history of the genre. Countless examples have given birth to numerous highly successful race and trials cars along with a plethora of home built road cars of, it has to be said, wildly differing capabilities and quality depending on the skills of the builder! Nevertheless, the mechanical simplicity and ruggedness of the original design have ensured generations of converted Sevens have lived on well beyond their anticipated life times.
This attractive aluminium bodied two seater special has been subject to a recent restoration which included repainting of its svelte bodywork in green. The flowing wings and inset head lamps provide an indication of the care and attention expended on its design, and would suggest a level of expenditure above the usual cycle wing examples. Offered with a history file complete with invoices and older photographs, YXS 961 is DVLA registered as a Tourer and a close inspection confirms it to be without doubt an intriguing example of the Special builder’s art.
