Along with the one in Holland this is the third 'Mulliner' Scout car I have come across. Interesting non-standard (?) camouflage hood. The plated radiator cowl would identify this as one of the later production models but this is actually the oldest known of type.
According to Brian Purves' Austin Seven Source Book, 118 scout cars were produced in 1929 and a further 40 were supplied in 1930. That at least 3 have survived is quite rmarkable for a military vehicle.

I have tried to contact flickr member 'henryharris' to get more information about this picture I have 'borrowed' as I first saw it in his photostream. Not many pictures exist of Austin Sevens at the front. The 1935 APD Tourer was a standard Longbridge product but with a few modifications to suit the military, better cooling and tougher suspension was required and the wheel centres had 'bobbin' extensions on them so they could be lifted out of the mud should one need to.
A closer look at the remains shows a scuttle mounted petrol tank.

Restored recently, this is a similar one to that in the 1940 picture.

Borrowed off the net :-)
