Hi
Have just seen that the very late Ruby I examined some years ago and as discussed on the Cornwall Club website is being auctioned by Mathewsons in Yorkshire in May. (The current owner is not known to me.)
http://www.austin7.org/Technical%20Artic...0Features/
The car has quite a few unusual detailed features, though it is unclear whether or not they date back to when it left the factory. The Chassis No is given in the register as 290072, so there a few later Rubies on there - not sure if any share these modifications to the earlier ARR design? Why anyone - at the factory, or a later owner - would go to the trouble of incorporating these odd changes is unclear to me.
Regards,
Colin
