Hello all,
Great to find this forum.
I have just acquired a 1960 Austin Seven, sold to me as a 1962.
The heritage certificate says "De-Luxe" and with the heater option, original color Farina Grey.
It was originally delivered to Los Angeles (where I am) LHD.

Now it has a 1275 and has been converted to RHD -- two things I am going to keep the same.

I am undoing a lot of incorrect parts and repairs to make this car a little more original.
Fender flares off, badging, mirrors, grill, and a whole lot more. Love the car so far.

I'm sure I'll have questions! Does a De-Luxe indicate bumpers with overriders?

The overriders on the pre Cooper/Super cars were without the corner bars. It was also a 'delete' option I believe, at least that's what I say about my car which hasn't had the luxury of having had the ones I've acquired being fitted yet..

I have been researching the early Coopers that went to the US but in this I have acquired, found information on the 1960 cars sent there. If you send me your email I will send you what I have found. Steve
