1929 AUSTIN SEVEN CHUMMY TOURER
Registration No. KP 9984 (UK)
Chassis No. 80174
Engine No. 110453
Red with black wings.
Engine: four cylinder, side valve, 747.5cc, 10.5bhp at 2,400rpm; Gearbox: three speed manual; Brakes: drums all round; Suspension: front, transverse leaf springs; rear, quarter elliptic leaf springs. Right hand drive.
It is said that the design for the Austin Seven began on the billiard table at Herbert Austin's house with the assistance of Stanley Edge, then a junior draughtsman. True or not, this model along with the Austin Twelve was to transform the fortunes of the Austin Motor Company and bring car ownership within the means of thousands of first time buyers.
The Chummy is the most popular of the vintage models with its own distinct charm, being eligible for all manner of events or ideal for fun motoring.
This example was sympathetically rebuilt some five years ago and has has very little use since. There is a complete set of side screens, new tyres have been fitted and there is a new MoT. The Chummy is in very good order, coming from a renowned collection in the south west of England.
