Austin Seven Nippy

About the Austin Seven Nippy

The Austin 7 was an economy car produced from 1922 until 1939 in the United Kingdom by the Austin Motor Company. Nicknamed the "Baby Austin", it was one of the most popular cars ever produced for the British market, and sold well abroad. It wiped out most other British small cars and cyclecars of the early 1920s; its effect on the British market was similar to that of the Model T Ford in the USA. It was also licensed and copied by companies all over the world.

The Nippy has an easily recognisable shape with its 2-sets sports body and large, curved, beetle like rear. In modern times it is one of the more popular models. It had a short 3 year period of production making it less easy to buy than many of the other models.
