What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Mike Costigan]

Black was the standard factory finish on all models, but there were a few exceptions, as seen on the build records for the Ulster, for example:

In the early days it was possible to order a car in a non-standard colour, and I suppose that order might include coloured wheels, but the option had been discontinued by the time of the Ruby, so it's unlikely that any left the factory with coloured wheels.

This comment doesn't apply to coachbuilt cars, where, for example, most Swallows had coloured wheels.
