This super little car is the product of the knowledge and expertise of well known Austin Seven exponent Barry Clarke. As this particular model doesn't appear to have been put into production Barry based it's appearance entirely on a drawing published in the December 1922 edition of The Light Car and Cyclecar which is, I believe, the only known picture of the car. He had over years of Austin Seven ownership, accumulated many years parts and this presented itself as an ideal opportunity to put them to good use - I have summarised below the construction of the car so that you can see just how far he has gone to make the car as authentic as possible and why it deserves to be viewed as so much more than just another Austin Seven special.

The chassis is an early Austin Seven unit which has been remade to 1922 specification in that it has a different nosepiece with two rather than four bolts. It has an early front axle which doesn't have any shock absorber mountings, it has oilers rather than greasers for the king pins and there is no lubricating facility for the track rod ends. The correct 5.4 to 1 back axle doesn't have any strengthening webs cast into the differential housing, the front and rear spring shackles have correct early greasers and the beaded edge wheels are fitted with early 6 inch brake drums. 

The "no cooling fan" engine is 747 cc as specified in the Light Car and Cyclecar magazine and the cylinder head which has the number XL 845 FD cast into it, incorporates fuel priming taps for the cylinders as the early carburetter doesn't have a built in choke mechanism. The car has the correct early dynamo as fitted to cars without starter motors and it has an early gearbox with a metal rather than a fabric universal joint.

It has a four spoke steering wheel which is a specially made replica of an original early wheel and the gas and ignition levers on the steering wheel have correct period dished ends.

The price is to sell as I paid considerably more as I purchased the Baby from 'Gavin McGuire's Fine Automobiles'

Thank you for looking....
