Dutch Austin Seven

[Mike Costigan]

The Pre-War.com website has published a photograph of a meeting of the KNAC (Royal Dutch Automobile Club) taken on April 3rd 1936. Amongst all the large saloons it was surprising to spot an early-1930s Austin Seven (RL, RM, RN or RP?).

Hello,
In the second photo, the car can be seen from the rear. It seems to have chromed headlamps and a wheelcover with Austin logo. In the first I think the sliding roof is visible.
RP… I think..

I'm inclined to agree with you, Frank. My first thought was that it was a short-chassis car, but on further study I think the length of the rear window indicates a later car.

Hello Mike,
certainly long wheel base. Lovely photos! Thanks for sharing
