1930 Austin Seven Box Saloon
Registration number: HX 9375
Chassis number: 114785
Engine number: M102712
Presented in dark blue over black with a black vinyl roof insert, this diminutive Austin is in generally very presentable condition throughout.
The interior is trimmed in black vinyl for the seating and blue for the door cards. Instrumentation is Smiths MA for the speedometer and a fabulous DH Ltd. oil pressure gauge.
Stated to be in good running and driving condition, it has been driven to Holland and Belgium during the present ownership. Sensible modifications to allow safer road use include flashing indicators and hydraulic brakes. Prospective purchasers should, of course, carry out their own inspection to satisfy themselves as to the mechanical condition of the car.
In the current ownership since 2013, paperwork with this lot includes a number of expired tax discs and MoT test certificates, along with a number of invoices for work undertaken, the last major works having been carried out in 2017.
This lot is subject to Buyer's Premium at 15% plus VAT @ 20%.
Take advantage of our Sworders Delivery Service. Please see 'Shipping estimate' below.

Buying a pre-loved, antique, or vintage item not only provides you with unique style and value for money but it also helps to reduce landfill, and the annual emissions of an antique or vintage piece can be as little as one sixteenth of those of its new equivalent!
Sworders is proud to be supporting the work of Antiques are Green - the movement that was founded in 2009 to promote “a greener future created from the past”. Read their fascinating carbon footprint study of a Georgian chest of drawers versus a modern equivalent here
