As I understand the Austin 7s sent to Australia for local bodies comprised a complete chassis , engine , wheels, floor pan, mudguards, radiator, bonnet and scuttle.
The major body supplier Holden Motor Bodies often prepared Fabric Saloon bodies based on Austin Distributors advice of a UK order for say 40 cars .
The bodies were fitted immediately on arrival and put out for sale.
I believe my early 1929 Fabric Saloon would be one of these- another member has a 1930 Fabric saloon with the identical body on a short scuttle chassis - just seen behind my car
