What have you done today with your Austin Seven

David, the short answer is 'no'.

Bill is correct it is a 1955 Austin A40 Cambridge. The only difference is engine size, the A40 being 1200 while the A50 is 1489. The A55 is also 1489 but with a five inch longer boot. Mine in the picture started life with a 1200 engine but before I bought the car it was fitted with a 1622cc out of the later A60.

It saunters up hills so gently, compared to thrashing the Ruby up any incline. Cruises on the motorway happily at a genuine 53 mph, and isn't too unhappy at about 57 with the trucks.
Snap!

My 1955 A50 that I'm using as everyday transport at the moment. 1500cc.
Almost as comfortable as a 2CV.
