Austin 7 Ruby 1937 - concours for sale

Over-used expression I know but this must be close to the best Austin 7 Ruby available. It was fully professionally restored inside. out and mechanically about 23 years ago by a well known Sussex garage owner and when I bought it 3 years ago it had covered just over 1. 00 miles. It was carefully driven a few miles every month for those 20 years and the mileage on the clock is 1. 22 which is probably around the total from the rebuild I replaced the battery and three of the tyres which are all as new and have added a few more miles with some very pleasurable summer outings. Until this year when the MoT was no longer required it sailed through the test every time. The previous owner's widow told me that the car had featured in the film Dr Doolittle. It is a real head-turner and I have a pleasant memory of returning to it in a supermarket car park to find the owners of a brand new Porsche Cayenne simply besotted with the Ruby. No one was very interested in the Porsche. Everything works well and it starts easily. It has the required modern indicators but the trafficators also work from a separate switch. These cars are appreciating fairly steadily and it is priced in accordance with its condition. It is a good rule of thumb that if you start with a tatty vehicle it will have cost more to restore than its value by the time it is in pristine condition. This is a ready to go investment and I am only selling as a replacement classic is on its way and I am under orders that "one at a time is enough!" Any inspection is invited. You are welcome to come for a spin but I will drive.
