Beschreibung
Exactly when the current owner, a well-known figure in the motoring history hobby for many years, took over the car is not known to us at the time of writing. However, it has been part of his extensive private collection for some time. The car has come here from England and appears to be in a fine and usable restored condition. The car comes with some literature and period-correct accessories for those who so desire. Note that the hip flask is located in the passenger-side glove compartment.

Zustand technisch
Not used for some time and could not be moved; it should therefore be checked over and carefully started up. The mechanicals are simple and reliable, so there should be no major issues. Not inspected on a lift, but the underside was relatively easy to view and, like the rest of the car, it appeared to be in good condition.
-
Zustand Interieur
Fine interior with comfortable seats upholstered in beautiful leather. Door panels and other interior trim in good condition, appearing to be in original configuration. Steering wheel, controls, dashboard, and gauges are in excellent condition.
-
Zustand Exterieur
Fine paintwork and all other details such as glass, chrome, trim, emblems, and lighting components are in fine condition. Fine wheels featuring the latest innovation of the era, full wheel covers, and good tires, although their age is unknown. A fine soft top frame is included, but the soft top is missing.

Whether a new owner wants it in the garage, as a work of art in the rec room, or to take it out on the roads, this is an antique model and an iconic little people's car, a "piece of industrial art" from the 1920s. This one was built in 1932 and has a few years left until its hundredth anniversary, but it is a classic, an enthusiast's car, and a collector's treasure.
Kommentar vom Besitzer
Vår far har alltid varit en entusiastisk motorhistoriker och genom åren har det passerat många fina och välhållna vagnar i samlingen. Han har alltid skött om, servat och hållit dem i fint och körklart skick. Det har varit en livsstil och mängde av vänner, vagnar och minnen bär han och vi i familjen med oss. Nu är det dags för nästa kapitel för oss och vagnarna i samlingen.
Fakten zum Modell
The Austin Motor Company manufactured cars from 1905 to 1989. The company was founded by Herbert Austin, who had a background at Wolseley. From the start, they were based in Longbridge outside Birmingham. After the First World War, the company struggled financially, but with the small Austin Seven, fortunes turned around again. The 1930s were sluggish, but by then Herbert Austin himself was stepping back, as his age entitled him to. He passed away in 1941. During the Second World War, production was converted to aircraft engines and aircraft. After the war, Austin was relatively quick to resume car manufacturing and acquired, among others, Vanden Plas. They began the successful collaboration with Donald Healey and launched the Austin-Healey sports car, an icon today. They also merged with Morris in 1952 to form BMC. In an increasingly turbulent period for British car manufacturing, BMC became part of British Leyland in 1968.
The story of the Austin Seven, introduced in 1922, is a special one. When Austin, after the First World War, departed from its earlier strategy of offering a wide range of models and bet on a single model, the result was a drop in sales. Herbert Austin then wanted the company to at least invest in a small, inexpensive car "for the people" as a complement. The board voted it down. But he was stubborn and went on to design a small, affordable people's car with his own money at his home, together with the then only fifteen-year-old apprentice Stanley Edge. Herbert Austin took out several patents on the design and thereby earned a royalty on every car sold. In the fall of 1922, the car was presented to the public. It became a success and remained in production until the outbreak of the Second World War. It was continuously developed and appeared in a wide variety of versions. For the 1932 model year, a four-speed gearbox was introduced, among other updates. The engine displaced 747 cm³ and initially produced 11 hp, rising to 17 hp over the years. With its weight of 360 kg plus a couple of occupants, it was still relatively lively for its time. That was plenty for the city traffic of the day and for the narrow, winding roads among villages, hedgerows, and rolling meadows of the English countryside.
The model came to be built under license abroad, for example by Germany's BMW with its Dixie, France's Rosengart, and American Austin. In total, 290,000 examples were produced between 1922 and 1939.
