Description The perfect barn-find coachbuilt Austin; super-rare and super-original; remarkably sound and running and driving; definitely not for restoration...

Built in mid 1929, this Gordon England Stadium is one of just eight original examples thought to have survived and was unearthed from a rundown shed in Pennsylvania, USA.

Quite what it was doing there we do not know, but the shed was behind what had been a Serivce Station back in the day and the Triple A signs on both doors of the car may lend a clue (American Automobile Association).

Quite what a diminutive car like the Seven was supposed to do with a broken-down Packard we can't imagine, which may account for its incredible condition - unrestored and in remarkably well preserved, unworn order .

In fact the only elements that appear to have recieved attention are the seats which have been retrimmed and some work to the wiring.

Other than that it appears totally original, with its factory original red and black fabric cover...
