Yep an Austin Seven Hill Climber.

The Ogle was a lovely little car. If only old Alex had put the gearbox next to the engine as opposed to under it think of all the sleek specials we could have had.

Sadly with the height of the powertrain some ended up looking a bit dumpy, unless it was mounted in the back.

David Ogle did a good job on the styling given the limitations.









PS Fraser I think you are right about it being an Ulster - it was a surprise wedding gift from my mate to his wife - left parked outside the church on the day. I'll have to ask next time I see them.

Similar shape to a Tatra but nothing to do with them.

Not a prototype or one off either.

I want to say Chrysler from the thirties like an airflow or similar, but the rear lights make me think British.
