Hello Prithvi. What a great find. It's definitely an AG with the steel body shell and two vertical pressings down the back face. Incidentally, Austin never called any A7 a Chummy, they were always advertised as 'Tourers'. Hence, your car could indeed be called a 'Chummy' - though some think that this 'qualification' ended in mid-1930 with the demise of the AE and the introduction of the long-bonnet, tall-radiator AF. The AF and AG are indeed the most prosaic of the breed and lack the cheeky, cute looks of the earlier models - but don't worry, I have an AF as well and, like all of us, enjoy all many varieties.
