BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA Typical car dealer BULLS........
1936 AUSTIN 7 CAMBRIDGE SPORTS SPECIAL (very rare)
Finished in deep red with black gloss wings and wire wheels, complemented by a deep brown leather trim. This little car was first registered on 9th May 1936 with chassis number 245640, engine number 163930 and registration number CXM 785
The car was then taken to Cambridge engineering of Willsden and Kew Green London and was converted by L.M. Bill Williams into a Cambridge two seater special. Cambridge engineering were recognised as the ‘experts’ in tuning and building Austin Seven Sports Specials. At the time the car was fitted with a gas flowed engine with high compression head and SU carb. On the dashboard of the car is a brass plaque stating the following ‘driven by Sir Herbert Austin reached up to 102 mph, Brooklands, 1937’. A further brass plaque states that the vehicle appeared at Le Mans race circuit in
1938/1939. The car is registered on the Owners of Austin Sevens register as being built by Bill Williams and can be verified under its chassis number. Sometime later the car was taken out of use and spent 20-30 years in the rear of a workshop in Scotland and sadly ended up in a poor state. A ground up restoration took place over a period of years in the early 2000’s during which extensive work was carried out to the body and the mechanics. On overhauling the engine, it was found that the engine modifications mentioned earlier has taken place and the car was later sold in 2014 and exported to Spain to become part of a large historic car collection in Majorca. Following the demise of the wealthy Spaniard, the collection was broken up and this car was re-imported under its original registration number back to the UK. The car has recently been commissioned for road use which included new water hoses, fresh oil etc. Two further plaques in addition to those mentioned earlier are displayed on the dashboard indicating that the car attended other rallies in 1991 and 1996. According to the V5 the vehicle has had 3 former keepers.
The history folder includes: V5, Austin Seven chassis search results confirming that this car was an original Cambridge Special, various emails and correspondence, import documentation, Spanish V5, DVLA paperwork, business cards, invoices, show events paperwork, a hardback book called Austin seven Specials by L.M. Bill Williams, write ups on this car and various pieces of information re Austin specials, Austin Seven Cambridge and Bill Williams.
The features include: fly screens, rear view mirrors, leather strapped bonnet, wire wheels, side exhaust, tonneau cover, wooden dash, leather trim and chrome headlights. This little darling is still in excellent condition throughout and would be a lovely addition to any car collection or for someone who would cherish a beautiful Sportscar of this era. £16995

Right let's try and do this properly...
For sale.
1936 Austin Ruby that has had the original body removed and replaced with something resembling a Cambridge Special. A pretty standard engine with standard manifolds and an adaptor for a late model SU carb, plus various entertaining brass plaques to keep the passenger amused.
Probably more accurate, but definitely not as much fun to read!
On the dashboard of the car is a brass plaque stating the following ‘driven by Sir Herbert Austin reached up to 102 mph, Brooklands, 1937’.
that was an especially impressive piece of driving considering that the "driver" Herbert Austin would have been 71 years old in 1937.
Are there really any buyers who would be taken in by the utter of cobblers in the sellers spiel? -I suppose I'll have my answer if it sells

I re write: Car Dealer should had been Typical Car Salesman BULLS.......
Tony you are neither a car dealer or a car salesman?
You may have the odd car to sell from time to time like anyone of us on this forum.
You are part of the A7 fraternity and you provide a first class service to everyone.
Just look at the other salesman trying to sell the Grasshoper BOA 60.
