Hello,

Can anyone help me I have been asked to sell an old Austen car for someone who's husband had bought to renovate. I have put the details I have on a site http://austin-sarah.blogspot.com/2006/04/pictures-of-austin-for-sale-details.html
(just cut and paste above into address line).
Would appreciate if you are able to tell me the best place to advertise this.
The Austen Seven Owners Club has said they will advertise in their book. Does anyone else have any other suggestions? Thanks Sarah

Sarah, It's a Big 7 "Sixlite", These were introduced at the end of 1937.

Looked at photo's but could not see Reg No. to validate actual First Reg Date.

A7OC should be OK, try also the PreWar Austin 7 Club.

I don't know if the Registrar of the Big 7's has anyone waiting on his books for a car, but try Robin on 013x32 7x006x29 (remove the x's).

Hi Phil,

Many thanks for your guidance, sorry the reg plate is not clear in photo, but it is ELR 138 would that make sense?

I will follow the leads you have given me.

Thanks very much!!!

Sarah

Yes, that makes sence, First Registered 1 Jan 1938, Chassis No. is 4884, Body RV 04227. according to the A7 Associations Register of survivimg A7's (and Big 7's).

However my Glass's Index to Reg Numbers shows ELR was issued in London during Dec '37 and all used up in that month as well, so the 1/1/38 might be conjecture on someone else's part, the 1st Jan '38 was a Saturday by the way - from an excellent free programme called 'Calender Magic', Sandy on this forum sent me a copy.

Good luck with the sale Sarah

Phil
