OK, perhaps this should be in the "other cars" section, but as the base is an Austin seven I decided to stay with the British section.
A little history. In 1928 Lucien Rosengart produced his first car the LR2 and it was based on the Austin seven as he had bought the rights to build it from Herbert Austin.Versions of the Austin 7 were made under licence by American Austin from 1930, Dixi (later bought by BMW) in Germany from 1927 and Rosengart in France from 1928.
Well, a good many years ago, I was introduced to a chap who had an LR4N2 which had been transformed into a skiff. I managed to secure it at a very reasonable price on the condition that I wouldn't just pass it on for a profit. Well, I still have it .
I have done some work on the engine and changed the carburettor for an SU as the one on it came from a Renault 4L! The exhaust is now straight through (who needs a silencer?)
Although the car is basically Austin seven in design many of the parts are not quite the same and therefore I can't draw on the huge resources in the uk.
Now for some pictures.
