Austin Nippy for Sale-thoughts

[Mike Costigan]

Hi Jon,

...I wonder if this car was built up in period from an unsold body at the end of production...

Far more likely it has been re-chassised post-war; the Type 65 I used to own was completely rebuilt in the early 1950s and the use of a Ruby chassis was a convenient route to obtain better support for the body. Even into the 'seventies people were rebuilding Nippys onto Ruby chassis.
