UNBROKEN WORLD RECORDS
As 2005 unfolds, I note that after 12 years the
following world records remain in tack. In May 1993 a party of Austin
Seven enthusiasts ventured to
Steve Hodgson - Claims the world record for ascent of the
hill in standard engined
ratio gear box – Windscreen Flat – No Goggles 82 Seconds
Ken Berry - Claims World record for Mk 1 Ruby –

We received this picture – at our main nerve
centre via an encrypted message from the NASA

have it identified.
We add that
there is no security implication .

Hi/hallo mr Mac Bonar, or in
Icelandic, "Sæll og blessaður".
YP 7852 is at the moment in
total restoring, down to the smallest nut and
bolt.
Carefully glassblasted primed
and painted with respect love and care. The car will hopefully be ready before
cristmas time. But I send you a picture of the car like it was when it landed
over here. YP 7852 is the only Austin seven in Iceland, strange but true. I
shall send you another photo after the restoration is over. Your website is a
vonderful site, thank you it is on my favorite list. But are you able to inform
me the orginal color of the car, and where to
find site screens for the
top. That was missing from the car when it came
over here from
Does YP 7852 have any
history tha can be found in
