Arguably the forefather of mass motoring ‘giants’ such as the Volkswagen Beetle, Citroen 2CV and BMC Mini, the Austin Seven was launched in 1922. An extremely versatile design, its simple but well-executed A-frame, leaf-sprung chassis, played host to a bewildering range of derivatives from Brooklands single-seaters to two-speed tractors (all powered by the ubiquitous, four-cylinder, side-valve 747cc engine). Throughout a lifetime of continual revision and development, the Seven never lost its charm.

Offered here "SX 4076" is believed to have started life as a box saloon however at some stage has been rebodied as a Nippy-style Tourer. Self-evidently treated to an amount of past restoration work its painted in an appealing combination of Yellow with Black, ‘SX 4076’ looks 'sporty' with a low centre of gravity. It has been stored away and unused for several years and upon recent inspection the vehicle was not seen running. Offered as part of a deceased estate the Seven is accompanied by a buff continuation logbook plus current V5C and is understood to have previously competed in a number of vintage trails and rallies
