LHD Austin Seven Taxi (Upd.'s 1933 LWB RP saloon)
Some time ago Hubert Kranz bought a very rare left hand drive 1931 Austin Seven and is looking for more information about this car . It carries the car number B7 with chassis number 169 884 3389 and engine number M182163. The Austin got its present license plate UK-70-97 in 1956 after the Dutch government changed the licensing system from owner registrations to car registrations. The papers show that the last owner was registered in 1960 but what makes this Austin interesting is that it was probably used as an Amsterdam taxi. It was licensed to carry five (5!) passengers! Does someone recognize this little 7? Tell us all! Hubert will be grateful.
(trivial knowledge; we all know what UK stands for in general, but in Dutch 'uk' means little one)

This car could be a Willys-Overland, Crossley, assembled and retailde by Willys-Overland, Crossley GMBH, Berlin-Adlershof. Look into the Austin Seven Source book, page 368. What shows the VIN plate???

I owned in the seventies an original built left hand-drive Austin Seven Nippy
of the year 1933. This car was exported to Holland also in 1933. Austin made for the export special left-hand drived cars. During the war the car was hidden in a barn in Groenekan.The number registration started also with UK-?-?

Austin 7's WERE used as Taxis in London in the 1930's, but they were "Properly attired" in Taxicab garb.

I wonder if this uses some Dixi or Rosengart parts as I think both built left hand drive Austin Seven copies which were effectively mirror opposite cars with everything back to front, particulatly the steering box whichg wouldn't fit a LHD setup.
