Chummy Identification

[Martin Prior]

In the last few years, Spain has been the source of many recycled Sevens of widely varying quality. It seems that these date from times of great economic difficulty following the Civil and Second World wars. They were reconstructed from scavenged parts, not necessarily of Austin origin, combined with local coachbuilding. One or two of the better efforts have been confused (my opinion) with rare works prototypes that were somehow exiled to Spain; this one is obviously not of that standard, but is an interesting piece of history.

31572 would date from February/March 1927. It would be very interesting to know more about it, but some more numbers are needed. Please forward http://a7ca.org/downloads/QuoteThisNumber.pdf to the owner and let's see what they can find.
