Gordon England is not a car, it was a manufacturer of special bodies for Austin Sevens and other cars such Standards. The various bodies made for the A7 included the Brooklands, Cup and Stadium 2-seaters, and the Sunshine (& other) saloons. The Cup is the most usual model, and is generally reckoned to be one of the most attractive bodies fitted to an Austin Seven. If you are thinking of buying one of these, make sure that you will fit in it (!) and that you and your passenger are good friends. They are not very roomy. Most of the replica bodies (in the UK) were made by Tom Abernethy; he ceased production a couple of years ago or so. There is a chap in Leicestershire who makes them.
