29 favor

[Mike Costigan]

1929 was almost the most successful year for Austin Seven sales (26,447, only exceeded -just - by 1935) but saloons outnumbered tourers by more than two-to-one. 1928 saw more tourers sold than 1929, and was also the last year that tourers outsold saloons.

1928: 8,233 tourers, 6,473 saloons
1929: 5,304 tourers, 11,916 saloons

These figures are for the Longbridge-built cars, if you add in the Mulliner and Gordon England saloons which were sold through the Austin Dealer network, then saloons outsold tourers in 1928 too.
