I have checked the DVLA website and it's still about xxx
The two stickers on the windscreen in the photo taken at Heskin Hall in 2014 suggest that at some point in time the cars owner was a member of both 'The Pre-War Austin Seven Club' and the 'Vintage Sports-Car Club'. Austin Sevens owned by members of the V.S.C.C. rarely appear on the A7CA Chassis Register.
