This 1937 Austin Boattail Speedster is a truly cool classic. It not only has an interesting American and European heritage, but also it's a top-quality build with a distinct and sleek style. And we're even told a story on this of being a prototype where you'll only need your hands to count its rarity.
This car has a beautiful look that instantly attracts attention. We're told there was over 2,000 hours in its restoration, and the quality presentation seems to be the proof. The panels lineup nicely starting at the grille, and then moving all the way down the body until you reach the distinct rounded end. As a true roadster, there is a minimalist attitude, and so the elegance is in the details. The cycle fenders have a two-tone look to coordinate with the green body and lower black frame. And the yellow wheels are also part for the color coordination with distinctive green pinstriping. If you're not familiar with American Austin, it started out as the Pennsylvania firm that set out to build an Americanized version of the Britain's Austin 7. American Austin had a tough time finding too much traction here, because the small car that put much of the world on wheels was not quite the right size for the USA. However, one way to really get attention is a sports roadster with a sleek rear that paid tribute to the best cars from celebrated automakers like Auburn and Mercedes. This has previously been sold under the story that it's a 1 of 6 prototype built right before the Bantam era. Over eight decades later, it is the only one that remains. While these claims have not been fully verified, it's an exceptionally interesting story that gives you the potential of owning a true classic that has no other like it left in the world.
The interior is clean, simple, and functional - just like a proper roadster should be. The restoration was not about adding comforts that came in the post- WWII era, and instead the money was spent in getting feeling fresh and correct. The bench seat contours to the rear's unique form, the side panels match the seat upholstery, and the big steering wheel feels grippy in your hands. So you really get the classic roadster experience. Every detail seems to be in place, right down to the Stewart Warner gauges (they're an institution that have been making readouts for well over a century.)
Just like the rest of the car, the engine bay is ready to be shown off. This is not about being overly flashy with polished components. Instead, it's impressive for an almost factory-fresh look with the clean/bright block, tidy wires, and correct component that even still clearly have their tin tags. The roadster is a more ideal paring for the Austin's 750cc motor and three-speed maul transmission. After all, one of the reasons the Austin 7 was so successful is this hardy powerplant, and so the lightweight setup makes this both a rugged and nippy machine. And as you look at the undercarriage photos, you'll see a clean and panted chassis that was taken back to a day-one kind of status.
There was a lot of time, effort, and investment to get this rare American Austin looking so distinct. So if you want to own the small car that will steal big attention at the car shows, don't miss this roadster. Call today!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
