CAR BODY PANELS

  



There are a number of Companies that can still manufacture and supply body panels for the Austin Seven but their numbers dwindle as the years go by and traditional craft skills are lost.
  
 

Here we feature the parts that are still available from one such Company; Metalwork Developments, based in Hinckley, Leicestershire and run by Keith Marriner a stalwart of the Midlands Austin Seven Club. A wide range of body panels for Chummies, Box Saloons and Rubys are available but  some, notably bonnets, front wings and rear panels for Chummies are no longer made which is as good a reason as any to get that restoration project underway.
