Description

The Austin Seven Sports was a performance-oriented version of the standard Austin Seven, designed to provide an enjoyable and spirited driving experience. Introduced in the late 1920s and early 1930s, it was aimed at enthusiasts who wanted a lightweight and affordable sports car with the reliability and economy of the Austin Seven platform.

Featuring a streamlined and minimalist body, the Austin Seven Sports had a lower stance, cut-down doors, and cycle-style mudguards, giving it a more dynamic appearance. The 747cc four-cylinder engine was often tuned for better performance, with higher compression and improved carburation. Some models even included close-ratio gearboxes and uprated suspension to enhance handling and responsiveness.

The combination of low weight and improved power made the Austin Seven Sports a popular choice for amateur racing and trials events. Many private owners and coachbuilders created their own custom sports versions, further expanding the car’s legacy in motorsport. Today, the Austin Seven Sports is a highly sought-after classic, valued for its engaging driving experience, historical significance, and enduring charm.
