Second ‘keeper’, Mr Sparks (who had ‘taken on’ the Chummy from the Band family, the original owners) and the current vendor were chatting about cars and Mr Sparks asked if he’d like to take over the custodianship of the Seven. In fact, he virtually insisted on it! And, as it was for Dr Band Jr, our current vendor finds himself with little time to properly enjoy the car, so the car is now offered for public sale for the first time in its 95-year history.

Although the ‘Chummy’ was restored in the early 2000s, it still presents exceptionally well and it wouldn’t take much effort or expense to bring it up to a concours standard. The paintwork is still lustrous, the leather is virtually unmarked and the car starts nicely. It comes with an as-new hood, hood cover, full tonneau and full side screens. Accompanying the car is a history file containing a V5C documenting just two(!) registered keepers from new, old and recent invoices, old MOT’s, correspondence from Mr Sparks, an Austin Seven owner’s manual and workshop handbook and various Austin Seven Club magazines and spare parts price lists. It even includes an old photograph of a young Dr Band Junior alongside the ‘Chummy’, presumably just before he broke the rear axle which would take the car off the road for several decades.
