1933' Austin Austin 7 Tourer

Austin 7 motoring is smile a mile driving. This 1933 green over black 4 seater tourer has had the benefit over recent years of a bare metal respray and a professionally handmade hood and hood bag. Utterly reliable, his 7 has seen wedding duty and trips as far afield as the Isle of Wight – all taken in his stride. Unfortunately ,with 2 other classic cars he is getting very limited use.
