new Nippy owner

[Martin Prior]

It should be great as a fun car, but the more I look at it, the less Austin Seven I see. Mechanically, including the chassis and all of the running gear, it's all from elsewhere. The body looks to be of Nippy origin, but the floorpan must have been heavily re-worked, the cockpit opening has been extended several inches backwards, the doors have been extended forwards to include much of the scuttle sides, the front wings have been heavily re-worked and the rear wings have been moved outwards to accommodate a wider axle. The steering wheel looks to be from a Morris Minor and the dashboard is homemade.

PS - We can supply the timber frame for the boot lid and can source the sheet metalwork for you.
