1931 Austin Seven RM De Luxe Saloon
No Reserve

Chassis No: 134960
MOT: Exempt
Supplied new in Nottingham and fitted with a sunroof by local firm J. Richards of Hucknall Rd

Matching chassis and engine numbers, simply delightful
By 1930, ‘tin tops’ had overtaken open tourers in popularity prompting Austin to produce a ‘Box Saloon’ derivative of its immortal Seven. The newcomer featured a steel body bolted to its A-frame chassis. Steering was by worm & wheel and the gutsy 747cc side-valve four-cylinder engine developed some 24bhp at 4, 500 rpm - enough to propel the compact four-seater to 60mph for those brave enough to try! Fuel consumption was rated at 35-40 mpg, while braking was by cable operated drums all round. Introduced in January, the RM Series were among the last of the short wheelbase saloons. Panelled in steel or fabric, they featured ‘wide doors’ to facilitate access for rear sear passengers and could be had in standard or De Luxe guises. Only in production for a year or so, the RM was superseded by the longer wheelbase RN.
