Description
Upgraded to
a 950cc A35-type engine; in Deluxe specification; 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. A stainless
steel exhaust has also been fitted.
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,
demonstrating that it is a running and usable example.
More recent maintenance reported by the vendor includes a new
headlining fitted last year, new seals installed in the master cylinder last
year, and an engine oil change carried out this year.
It therefore represents an honest and usable classic and would make
an ideal candidate for ongoing use and improvement, light restoration, or simply
continued enjoyment in its current form.
