Austin seven bodied to look like a bicycle saddle

[Ian Williams]

I have seen this picture before and I am not entirely convinced that this is any more than an artists impression, is there evidence that the car ever existed? The publishing date of the picture may give a clue as to when it was supposedly built, and if it was during the 30's the wheels could easily be 19" open centre form a later car than the chassis would seem to be. Promotional vehicles it would appear were often not built on brand new chassis.
