Nice van!

Maybe not so good as an all year daily.

Is it an Austin 7?

edit: judging from the doors it's not. But what is it?

I have it in my mind as an Austin 7 but I am no authority....

[braaap]

A7 was my first guess because of its size. But I couldn't find another one with such doors.

But maybe the were coachbuilt like the rest.

[Paul H]

Yes, it is an Austin 7. A pretty early one too (mid '20s), as the headlights are on the bulkhead.

[akku]

I thought I'd added more in here from other meets. Maybe not. Went along again today anyway.

I was thinking 'Interesting wheels, can't remember having seen them before'



but then I saw them again (okay, same car)



and again



aaand again

and I was thinking 'Given the right treatment they may look like some eight spoke Fuchs version'.

Like those aftermarket aircooled vw Empis, which came in five and eight spoke versions.

Those are quite the thing for Vauxhall scene, they are the factory "DTV Alloys" for the Firenza and HSx Chevettes. I dunno if you can get them as repros or anything now. To see 3 sets in one meet is quite something.

[misteralz]

Quite something to see them on everything except the thing I think of them as being synonymous with, which was the HC Magnum/Firenza...

First Sunday again.... I took a trundle in the Austin Seven

It was packed.
