Manufacturer description

The Austin Seven was a car designed by Sir Herbert Austin in 1921, in conjunction with a young draughtsman Stanley Edge from the Austin factory at Longbridge. This is a long wheelbase version of the Austin Seven De Luxe RN produced by the Austin Motor Company between 1931 and 1932. The standard model had been introduced ten years earlier and was one of the most popular cars ever produced for the British market, selling around 290,000 between 1922 and final production in 1939. The RN version was 6 inches longer than the standard Austin 7 with a corresponding increase in the rear track and was identified by the body number stamped behind the handbrake opening on the transmission tunnel with the prefix RN. The number plate is - OV8408 - and it comes with black interior except for the door trim which is brown. Externally the trim is mostly black, except for the finely detailed cream coachlines, silver radiator grille incorporating the Austin badge, silver spoked wheels and windscreen wipers.
