This lovely 7 has been with its last owner for 3 years over which time he has improved it significantly to the car we have here today. It has previously been in a private collection and seen little use. It was built in the late nineties by a retired engineer on the Isle of Wight. Using a Rod Yates long cockpit all aluminium body on a late 1935 chassis and period engine. The car was first registered in the U.K in 1952 and is believed to have been imported from South Africa. The car is in beautiful condition throughout and is a real credit to its past custodians. Most recently the 7 has received some improvements which include an original style electronic tachometer, modern fuses, a battery isolator and a rebuilt 1 1/8 SU carburettor. Also with the car is a rare remote Eltos gear change which was used in the Ulster / Specials in period.
