Original Details obtained from unrestored RG Saloon.

Austin Seven RG         Manufactured 18th August 1930

Chassis Number    115206        Engine Number    114872

Car Number B1 / 8079              Body Number  RG 978

The records at the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust at Gaydon indicate that the fabric body was brown and the trim was black. The car was manufactured as a RHD export model and currently resides in New Zealand.

It is interesting to note that the engine number is lower than the chassis number rather than the norm where, when engines were used for purposes other than the retail models, the numbers became out of sequence with the chassis numbers, the engine number being higher.
