1937 Austin Wooden boat tail | High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire

A 1937 Austin Wooden boat tail, an open two-seater with the tapered rear that gives the style its name. Austin offered boat-tail two-seaters on the Seven in the early 1930s, and the shape is liked for its small, neat proportions and period charm. This car is Brown outside and Brown inside, a warm single-colour scheme that sits easily in period settings. Its 750cc engine marks it out as a small car, and it is in very good condition. With the cabin open to the air, driver and passenger are in clear view of the camera. On a shoot, the tapered tail gives photographers a distinctive rear view, and the compact body leaves room for the location around it. That suits 1930s-set film and television, fashion and editorial work, music videos and events. It also makes a characterful arrival for a wedding or birthday. The car is based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
