Description

The Austin Seven Tourer was one of the most popular open-top variants of the Austin Seven, offering a lightweight and affordable motoring experience from the 1920s to the 1930s. Designed for practicality and enjoyment, the Tourer featured a simple yet elegant body with a folding fabric roof, making it ideal for both urban and countryside driving.

Powered by the dependable 747cc four-cylinder engine, the Austin Seven Tourer delivered modest performance, but its lightweight construction allowed for nimble handling and reasonable fuel efficiency. The car was available in two-seater and four-seater configurations, catering to both individual drivers and small families. Early models, often referred to as “Chummy” tourers, had a compact, upright design, while later versions evolved with more streamlined and refined bodywork.

Despite its small size, the Tourer provided a fun and engaging driving experience. Its affordability and reliability made it one of the best-selling cars of its time, helping to establish Austin as a dominant force in the automotive industry. Today, the Austin Seven Tourer is a cherished classic, admired by vintage car enthusiasts for its charm, historical significance, and enjoyable driving characteristics.
