This Cambridge special was originally built by a company called Unipower in the 50's, and you could safely say this was the first Unipower car ever produced at the company prior to the Unipower GT.
This Car has been in the same family Since.
The car has undergone a complete nut and bolt rebuild with No expense spared. As can be seen from the photos this Cambridge is not your typical Special, the idea behind the rebuild was to make the car look as if it left the Austin Factory in this condition with all the details as you can see in the Photos.
The car Drives and Handles perfectly. The Body work and paint is a work of art and the red Leather interior is spectacular. You simple will not find another Austin Seven Special or Austin seven like this one.
The car had been subject to many upgrades to ensure reliable and fun driving and is ready to drive away and be enjoyed.
The number plate is not part of the sale and is available via separate negotiation.
