Description
Upgraded to
a 950cc A35-type engine; Belived to be in Deluxe specifacation;
starting, stopping and driving while on site; honest and usable
classic
This 1956 Austin A30 Seven was first
registered in March 1956 and is finished in classic black. It is the more
desirable Deluxe specification, identifiable by its bumper overriders, opening
rear side windows, and twin front ashtrays. The car has had a total of nine
former keepers, with the current keeper acquiring it in June
2023.
Originally supplied with an 803cc engine, the car has at some point
been upgraded to a later 948cc A35-type engine, fitted with an SU carburettor,
offering a modest improvement in performance while retaining period-correct
character.
Although very little documented history has survived, the
vehicle was able to start, run, drive, and stop under its own power while on
site for photography and video. It therefore represents an honest and usable
classic, and would make an ideal candidate for sympathetic recommissioning,
light restoration, or continued enjoyment in its current
form.
