Austin 7 Meteor Sports

No items found.

Chassis and drive train delivered from the UK in 1928 to Sydney Coach Builder A Robinson & Co., 181 Castlereagh St, Sydney. This is where the Meteor Sports took shape.

Steel Chassis under a timber frame with the body panels shaped from aluminium. Small cockpit with a simple 3 speed.

The 2.2' (56mm) bore giving 747cc and 10.5hp. The side valve engine was composed of an aluminium crankcase, cast iron cylinder block and cast iron cylinder head. Cooling was by thermosiphon, without a water pump, and the dynamo was driven from the timing gears. Strangely yet efficient two bearing engine.

This car is one of 10 registered Austin 7 Meteors in the country
