Welcome to the forum and the world of Austin 7's. Your Ruby is listed on the 'Austin Seven Clubs' Association' Chassis Register of known existing Sevens. When listed in May 2007 it was owned by a member of the American Austin Bantam Club in Boston USA.
The registration BRO 64 shows that when new, it was first registered here in the UK in the County of Hertfordshire in April 1936.

An often used method here for freeing off seized engines is to pour Coca-Cola down the bores and leave standing for a week - you'd be surprised what it can do. I've also had great success with a aerosol product available here in the UK - there'll be similar available Stateside and that's 'Loctite Freeze & Release'.
