Description
The Austin Seven Opal was an open-top, two-seater tourer introduced in the 1930s as part of the updated Austin Seven range. It was designed as an affordable and stylish small car, offering a fun and economical motoring experience for individuals and couples.
Powered by the reliable 747cc four-cylinder engine, the Opal delivered modest performance, but its lightweight construction ensured a lively and enjoyable drive. It shared the same chassis as the Austin Seven Ruby, but with a more minimalistic body, featuring a simple folding fabric roof and cut-down doors for a sporty appearance.
Despite its compact size, the Opal provided a comfortable ride, making it popular among those looking for an affordable yet fashionable car. Its simplicity, durability, and charm have made it a favorite among classic car enthusiasts today, with many surviving examples still enjoyed in vintage motoring events.
