Lot 2
A 1936 Austin Seven Opal, registration number DOF 563, blue over black. Introduced in 1934, the Opal and its sibling Ruby and Pearl models were an important step forward in the development of Austin's ever popular light car. They featured covered cowled radiators, smaller 17 inch wheels, flowing valanced wings and four speed gearbox with synchromesh on second, third and top gears, and self cancelling trafficators. This charming Opal is presented in original oily rag condition. The vendor informs us that the Austin runs and drives but has a slight water leak and requires some minor fettling. V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustration
