Howdy. The Archive Project has had an enquiry from the son of a previous owner of this car who is keen to hand over 1950's history and photos to the current owner. The Chassis register shows the car owned by a PWA7C member, but that appears to be old, un-updated information. Does anyone know of the car and current owner please?

thanks..

Hugh

I need a pre 1926 chassis, any condition considered, will travel....

Beg, Steal, or Borrow!

Can anyone lend us the sliding panel for an RN sunroof - better still, the fixed rear panel as well? We need to get some accurate measurements and constructional details.

We receive frequent enquiries, so there's clearly a demand, but as far as I'm aware no-one is making the metalwork (I've asked the usual suppliers).

Time, we think, to do something !

We're also in need of detailed information about RK sunroof sliding panels.
   

Hello folks
Looking to sort some electrical problems.
Ruby came with almost no electrical cables.
However a few thin wires were still connected to the regulator 
Leading me to think it had been run with a 12v system ????
I want to use a 6v system.
The regulator number is CRF 2L
Can anyone advise is this OK for 6v
Regards

I just couldn’t resist the advert – 1926 Austin 7, unused since 1931. The car had been rescued from a barn by the Previous Owner in the early 1960’s. A cosmetic restoration was carried out in the 1980’s together with a retrim but the car has not been driven on the road since the original owner (a farmers wife it seems), pushed it into the barn in the summer of 1931.

I acquired the car in February this year. Initial inspection showed a list to the nearside and considerable fatigue cracking around the body mountings. Some of the body support brackets were bent and broken as well. I decided the body had to come off.

This lever type Fuel Tap is on my 1929 Chummy.

1. Is this the correct Tap?

2. It is leaking, even when fully closed, how do I fix it?

3. Sometimes for no reason While driving it is not giving sufficient fuel and need to closen and open again.

Any help or suggestions?

On a very wet and windy Saturday, what better than look through a few pics.

The first three are that which I knew as Ringwood Motor Works, Southampton, Road, Ringwood. The next four are E A W Davis'' Market Place Ringwood. and the last is Salisbury Road, Blashford, Ringwood.

A typical second-hand car dealer, this is T O Portus' premises in Oakhampton Sreet, Exeter in 1938. A 1933 RP saloon and a 1931 PC boat-tailed 2-seater flank a 1934 Austin Ten:

Clearing the cabinet out to make more room and came across these from 1992-1994

I am interested in using a modern diapragm clutch and would be interested to hear comments from those who have gone down that route.
Thanks in anticipation, Gene
