This gorgeous little Opal Tourer dates from 1937 and was first registered on 1st January 1938. Documents on file show that it was fully restored in the 1980s and some 13 old MoTs an ex-Austin apprentice, the previous owner had admired the Opal for many years as it had resided in the same village as him since 1998. In 2013 he finally got the chance to buy the car and he cherished it for many years before it came into my possession. I have maintained car to the same standard and upkeep. Sundry invoices attest to regular upkeep over the years, including a new wiring loom in and more recently a new battery, starter bushes, and general servicing and brakes, gaskets. As you can see it remains in exemplary condition throughout, having been always kept garaged and run occasionally it has won past awards at shows in recognition of its “outstanding condition” and “special historic interest”. Complete with a full set of weather equipment (hood, sidescreens and hood cover) and a useful set of period tools, it is without doubt one of the nicest Sevens available and comes with the aforementioned invoices and past MoTs, a buff logbook from 1962, V5C and an original owner’s handbook. The new owner will not be disappointed this little Austin opal(ape) is a fine example and probably the best you will find and correct, ready to use or show.
