AUSTIN SEVEN ULSTER
Please contact Pigsty Racing For further information
£13200
This is a very nice little Austin Ulster using much of an original body (ex Stan Goldthorpe). Overall it is
an excellently done car to original specs axles, gearbox, wiring, instruments and seats etc.
All major parts are 1930 (and the car is accepted as a 1930 Ulster by the VSCC papers attesting to
that).
Unfortunately it has a 1934 reg number but at least with four numerals. It was built 22 years ago
by Ken Sears chief chassis engineer at Lotus (long time A7 nut) who had collected parts over the
previous 20 years to that. It is very nicely put together.
This is not a lash up "Auction" special that you see so often but really indistinguishable from a
genuine car.
It drives very well and all the controls work properly.

Body is genuine, rebuilt by Keith Roach. He put new sides on, and a steel floor.
