1925 Austin Seven "Chummy"
Registration number: DS 9892
Date of registration: 1925
VIN number: A25559
Engine Number: TBC
Colour: Dark Blue over Black
The Austin "Seven" was introduced in 1922 and remained in production until 1939. Almost 300,000 were built, of which 10,000 are known to survive worldwide. Built at Longbridge, Birmingham, it was intended to provide affordable four-wheel transport for the working man and his family. The earliest models had a 696cc engine and a three-speed crash gearbox, with a wheelbase of six feet three inches. It was available only as an open tourer with just enough room for two adults and two small children. This type of body was and is known as a "Chummy". The Chummy has long been a firm favourite with Bugatti and Bentley owners usually favouring them over their exotic stable. Eligible for VSCC and light car events they serve as a highly thought of entry to trials, hill climbs and driving tests. Or the perfect car for a summers evening ramble to the local pub. This condition of this particular example suggests that she has undergone extensive restoration and she can only be described as wonderful. Recent paintwork, hood and upholstery, good tyres and correct dash-ware and lights, the Chummy was driven long distance to Leyburn by its long term owner and is in fine mechanical order.
Prices have held up well for nice examples with 20k often being achieved in sales. One recently sold at Bonhams Beaulieu sale this last month for an astounding £36,000.

Estimate: £10,000-13,000
