1937 Austin 7 Ruby

Location: Petworth

The Ruby and Pearl model were introduced towards the end of the Seven production and represented quite a refined car compared with its earlier siblings. The interior was well trimmed, the seats comfortable and it had a front opening windscreen, sliding sunroof and wind-down windows to the front and rear. Still powered by the 747cc engine, the four-speed gearbox boasted synchromesh in 2nd, 3rd and fourth gears.

This Austin 7 Ruby was first registered on the 18th June 1937 in Bournemouth, more recently the car has spent a number of years in Hampshire.

The engine on this little Austin is very sweet, and is genuinely one of the best we have heard. The engine has been rebuilt and has also been fitted with a remote oil filter assembly.

The drivetrain is in excellent condition, the clutch is smooth and the gears are direct. It is a pleasure to drive and has good tyres all round, the brakes are very good for one of these and it bombs along nicely.

The bodywork is very solid, it is as clean on the underside as it is on top. The car is an older restoration and the paintwork has now mellowed nicely. It polishes up and shines, it is not immaculate but presents well.

The interior is largely original, the front seat swabs have been retrimmed but has a good look about it.
