Do we have this in the Archive? Not seen one before.

I've not seen that one before. It doesn't appear in the Archive's website, so hopefully our Archivist is on the ball...

Curious; I searched for publication 695 and couldn't find it.

Thanks, Ruairidh.
(The number 695 suggests it is from 1929? It is in the list, but at the bottom. https://archive.a7ca.org/collections/show-brochures/ )

It's at the bottom of the list as an accurate date cannot be attributed to it. Most Brochures have a publication date, but a handful do not. They appear as a group at the bottom of the list. It is not always the case that publication date aligns with publication number (oddly)
RE: Austin Seven Brochure on ebay - Mike Costigan - 16-02-2025
I would have thought it perfectly reasonable to attribute a date of late-1929 to it; the illustrations clearly show the deep-section mudguards introduced in September 1929 whilst also showing the mid-sized radiator current up to mid-1930. Brochure illustrations were often out-dated, sometimes artistically modified to a new design (RNs used to illustrated RPs, for example) but I have never seen an Austin brochure anticipating a new design.
