You jammy sod. More pictures!!!
It looks a total home brew on an Austin 7 Have you still got it?

Floyd 23rd June 2014 17:15

Ha ha thanks for the reply , unfortunately Dad sold it about 1965 to Buy a faster and more competitive Mini Cooper for sprints & Hillclimbs. Yes it probably was (or is ) based on an Austin 7 ! Hopefully ,IS still out there somewhere.
Theres 4 pics in the Album ,heres another for now.

We knew how to build cars then. How to bend electrical conduit and get fancy single curvatures out of ally ,or any thing else. no silly IVA. Happy days.

Floyd, That is a fantastic link for those of us of that era. Where can I get a Pop for £10 like I did in the eary 60's? Just dreaming, the older I get the less sophisticated I want to be.
