Hi Eddie,
Your car and its registration can also be found on the Irish Car Checking Site 'cartell.ie' - link below
https://www.cartell.ie/ssl/servlet/begin...on=CYA+695
Like everyone else, I think you've got yourself a very good sound basis for a relatively easy restoration, after all it must have been in reasonable roadworthy condition to have been taxed and MOT'd in the UK back in late 1979. Presumably it's been in dry storage ever since and as a bonus its last UK owner appears to have been a Pre-War Austin 7 Club member according to the A7CA Chassis Register and therefore an A7 enthusiast.
When you have the time it would be worth updating the A7CA Chassis Register using their 'Previous Entry Updating Notification Form' - link below, to show that the car has been re-discovered and is now in Ireland. As your car is listed on the DVLA Database, it would most likely have had a DVLA V5 Registration Document when last taxed in 1979 - that would be a useful document to get hold of and keep when you pick up the car at the weekend.
The registration letters CYA show that the car was first registered when new in the county of Somerset between October and December 1936 and as Mick has already mentioned it's a Mk 2 ARR Ruby.
