Is Chummy ER 8727 still in America?
#3
I remember hearing or reading back in the early 1970's about the 1963 J.C. Sword Collection Auction in Scotland, but there appears to be little if any information about it online. It's briefly mentioned in the following link, but not in relation to the Chummy. The 1960's / 70's B&W photos in the link do show a couple of larger Austins - a 1927 Austin Twelve YH 2485 owned in 1975 by a Barry Smedley owner of Smedley's restaurant in Norwich and currently Taxed and a 1931 Austin 16/6 Gordon England Cabriolet TG 2073 owned in 1963 by Mr B C Starr of Norwich - sadly the DVLA Database shows the registration of the 16/6 as 'Vehicle details could not be found' - must be a pretty rare model, has it survived?

Anyone with early editions of Veteran & Vintage magazine, first published in 1956 will probably find an article detailing the 1963 J.C. Sword Collection Auction with information on the various lots.
