Re: what is a genuine chummy

With so many spares around and replica early and late chummy bodies having been made what is a genuine chummy. Are there any replica chummys around


My personal definition of a genuine chummy is coming up for auction at Richard Edmonds in October. It is a 1924 AC tourer and there is a photo of it on the back cover of the latest "Automobile" magazine. Estimated at £10-12,000, I wouldn't be surprised if it made more, especially in the light of some recent results.


Would like to see some details on that car but the website has no catalogue or details of lots.


Hi Austin,
It looks to be the car which John Barker discovered about eighteen months ago. See "Finds and Discoveries" in the Automobile magazine for April 2015
It is registered CF 5562 (West Suffolk) and had been off the road since 1943. If I didn't already have a similar car, I would be mustard keen on this one.

I have just purchased 1929 AD tourer UT 5209 . It has been with its previous owner since 1986. Has anybody got any history on this car prior to that.

Of course, Austin never manufactured/sold any Austin 7 called a 'Chummy' so the pedant might say there's no such thing as an original one. Same applies to 'Ulster'

I think you should refer to it as a "Sociable" Derek!
