Can anyone help with this request for approximate body dimensions of a Ruby saloon?

-------------------------------------

I was wondering if you could help me? There are a couple of staff in the company i work for doing a charity drive for Macmillan across Scotland in an Austin 7 Ruby. We are advertising the company logo on the car and I need to make some graphics for it.

Is there any chance you have the dimensions of the car? The car is currently being restored and checked over so I'm unable to measure it up myself.I understand there are a few models of it, but I'm not completely sure which one it is (though i can find out).

If there is anyway you can provide the information I would be extremely grateful!

If he's making graphics he will need the body length from the A post back to the end of the body I guess!

Cheers, Tony.

If he has decent side and rear elevation photos he can easily scale the relevant "flat" panels from the overall dimensions.
It's the sort of thing a Graphic Artist could do in their sleep.
