This car holds a lot of memories for me as it belonged to one of my teachers, Tony Dixon, who used her as every day transport back in the late 70’s. Tony Dixon sparked my interest in vintage cars, including Austin 7’s. It seems that HX was still around up until about 2006 according to DVLA and previous attempts to find her suggested that she was owned by a 750 Club member. I wonder if she is still owned by the family. Any information or a picture would be welcome!

The fact that the DVLA Database says it's Untaxed (in a red box) with the tax being due on 7th Feb 2006 suggests that the car was taxed immediately prior to that due date. Given that SORN was introduced on 31st January 1998, the car should legally be either SORN'd or taxed, the fact that it isn't might suggest that it's been sold abroad and now carry a foreign registration. As you say, the A7CA Chassis Register suggests the last known owner was a 750 Club member.
