Just a tad optimistic

[Chris KC]

I apologize if my comment sounds a bit caddy, but though I love the Seven "grill", I've never thought of it as imposing. Nor do I consider wire wheels a unique feature on a prewar car. So this is likely a Ruby with a new body, built postwar. And two fuel fillers...one for looks and one for real?

It was the term "status symbol" that made me splutter my porridge - not a phrase one hears often in connection with Austin Sevens.

Let's hope it doesn't make the asking price or half the European continent will be over here snapping up "cheap" Austin Seven specials to flog abroad.
