Description

1937 Austin 7 sedan - a pre-war classic that's genuinely rare to find. It needs restoration. Mileage is unknown.

This is a 4-seater manual with a 747cc petrol engine. It's a proper piece of motoring history, nearly 90 years old. The small engine means it's fuel-efficient for a car of this era which is nice.

It's fitted with a manual gearbox as you'd expect from a car of this age, it's more about the experience than modern comfort. The rear seat is missing.

If you're into classic cars or looking for something unique to add to a collection, this Austin 7 is worth a look. It's a genuine piece of New Zealand motoring heritage.

Does it go and does it have a bonnet carol758 (41) • 8:49 pm, Mon, 13 Apr

Yes it has a bonnet. The engine needs some love as it has not been run for a long time. It is a car for an enthusiast who wants to restore to original condition. kesenu (83) • Monday, 13 April 2026

With car in gear I can crank the engine and it moves forward or back so transmission works properly. I removed the carb and distributor for use on another of my cars so I will supply a good one of each of these. The engine cranks over without any problem with spark plugs removed however compression seems low with plugs in. I have not removed the cylinder head but I expect a stuck valve. A valve grind would be good to do. It is an easy job. Seller comment Tuesday, 14 April 2026
