"Year: 1924
Chassis no: 465; Engine no: AP325;
Registration no: XR1751
The car was built on a new English
chassis (one of 250) in 1999 by Rod
Warriner, the Vanden Plas tourer body
with blade wings by Tom Peach. The
Speed Model engine, AP325, came out
to Australia in the '60's in Chassis
649 together with original engine
650, this car was rebuilt by Warriner
and the first owner, my cousin John
Whiting, then reunited engine 650
with chassis 649, engine AP325 went
to Jim Duncan in Queensland and I
bought 649 from Whiting.
It is possible the Austin 7 surpasses
the Vintage Bentley in rebuilding
and hotting-up, but not by much. Having
foolishly sold chassis 649 after 14
years I had to have another and so
465 came into my hands in November
2009.
Now, advancing age and indifferent
health mean that I can no longer exercise
the car as much as I should, she will
easily attain 85 miles per hour and
cruises reliably at 70. Condition
is excellent, not far off concours
and all the jewellery is original...
I am prepared to discuss the price."
