Apparently a standard Two Seat Tourer (not allowed to call them "Opals" any more?) but with a Big 7 engine. 

Did they rebuild it with a Big 7 chassis? Looks well executed....

AUSTIN 7 SEVEN 1937 VERY RARE | eBay

Hi all, 

I've finally succumbed to one of my stranger desires and purchased an Austin 7, it was for sale just a few miles away in the northern town I live in which is rare enough, and I couldn't say no!
It's a 1934 box saloon, not sure if its an RN or RP I will have to do more research.  It runs well enough and can be driven (with care) however its becoming apparent there are a myriad of issues some easy some not so easy but the 30 or so miles I have driven it have been a real joy, despite the terrifying handling.
Previous owner has fitted a stereo system powered by an aux battery under the passenger seat....meaning I can drive around listening to the Ink Spots and pretending its the 1930s again....ahhh so good.

Ill try and share a picture soon.  

I've owned and restored a couple of classic cars over the years, but nothing older than 1971.  So this car is absolutely unlike anything I've ever owned and worked on before.  Examining the steering and suspension setup has left me absolutely baffled.  I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good manual that I can read to get me up to scratch with the basics?

I must sincerely apologise in advance for the many stupid questions I will be asking on this forum.

Kind regards, 

Chris

Since 1970 the Austin Seven Clubs’ Association Magazine has been produced each quarter (with one exception, when only 3 were produced over the course of a year).  The Magazine is a firm favourite across the globe, providing articles of interest for its 3400+ readership alongside local club magazines.
 
Production of the Magazine is entirely reliant on copy sourced from those readers – we now need you to help us source new copy.  The Editor’s cupboard is currently empty and so we are making an appeal, to you all, to send in something of interest.  Articles do not need to be lengthy, but they must be Austin Seven related and we absolutely love high quality images, old or new.

•   Preparation of competition cars and the driving experience obtained.
•   The development of the Seven from an historical viewpoint.
•   Information on forgotten sporting successes where the Seven excelled (or took part).
•   Adventurous journeys in an Austin Seven.

Has anyone successfully jetted a Big7 carb to run on an A7engine?

Currently it is on 55 and 88.

               

Hi all,
I have a new John Heath replica AD chummy type dash board that I would like to see go to a new home or project. I am willing to bring it with me to the UK to permit this to happen. When I ordered the body kit and floor pan John included it in the order for some reason. It is surplus to my needs.
   

I will be going to Beaulieu on Saturday September 14 and can bring it with me if someone is interested.
Cheers,
Stephen

We had 24 young drivers take part in the Scottish Austin Seven Club track day.

Families came from across Scotland, Leicestershire, Manchester and York too.

Never have we seen so many young people enjoying themselves driving.

I'm trying to sort out my RN saloon,  chassis 156322 car No B59623 and changing all the Ruby mechanicals (engine, gearbox, back axle) back  to original spec but I'm having trouble fitting the engine. JV 1193 is only 7 and HY 5283 only 6 cars earlier and I was hoping to ask a few questions of the owners and possibly get some photos. I'm sure my car is an RN (not an RP) and being 3000 odd vehicles before the major change to the mechanicals I'm equally sure it's not some hybrid and I am try to install the right bits. Alternatively does anybody own an RN close to Warrington that would be happy to let me have a close look at?
