This appears to be still in existence. Does anyone know of it? I am a previous owner

Can anyone confirm whether:

1.  PD/APD 2-seater doors are identical to AH/(AJ) 4-seat tourer doors?

2.  Mk1 ARQ Ruby bonnet and radiator cowl are identical to Mk 2 ARR parts?

Thanks!

I spotted a 1931 3 window coupe in Hemmings on line magazine, for sale in Watsonville CA for $4500. Pretty complete & unusual. will cost about £1500 to get here (much depends on cost of getting it to the port in CA) but what a great project! I can't work out how to get a copy of the ad onto this site, but go look onto "Hemmings Daily" and fight your way through the filters! I had forgotten that the Bantams have much of the engine reversed....so carb etc is back on the nearside & so on!
Not for me...I want to stay married & I have an AG (I think!) tourer on the way from Ohio at the moment.

Hi everyone,  I have recently been experiencing a banging under the rear end of Smiley when hitting pot hole.  I have looked underneath but can't see anything obvious. 
Does anyone have any idea where I might look next. ?

You Hi all,

I am planning to machine new holes and groves in my pressure plate for the clutch toggle. Does anyone have a drawing of the pressure plate so I get the holes in the correct place.

Thanks

I've just purchased a 20's smiths silver faced oil pressure gauge,the flange mount type.It's been butchered a bit by someone trying to remove the needle,which is missing along with it's mounting rim.
Does anyone know a manufacturer of them,or where I can buy one,

Wanted for my special. Any condition.

De Dion Motor Tricycle Races, Brooklands

Brooklands Museum, Weybridge, KT13 0SL (Satnav postcode for the car park)

10AM - 4PM

Usual Museum admission charges apply.

Not Austin Seven related (other than a chance to check out the ones in the museum), but this sounds too good not to post for anyone who may be interested. Description below is lifted from the Brooklands Museum Website...

Quote:On this day in 1897, the very first British motor races took place when the Motor Car Club, as a first anniversary celebration of their Emancipation Run from London to Brighton, organised a series of races for the De Dion Bouton motor tricycles on the quarter mile oval cycle track at Sheen House, Richmond Park.

The 120th Anniversary commemorations of the first of all British motor races will see at least a dozen Trikes on track in a series of races, from one mile sprints, to the finale which will be the Club's Five Mile Championship race on the Finishing Straight. Furthermore, they will be presented exactly as those first motor races, on a quarter mile oval circuit.
The format of the day will be as in 1897 - practice and fettling in the morning, lunch in the Clubhouse, (with a short talk of how racing started in Britain), followed by the race programme. Come rain or shine, the pioneers will be celebrated in style.

Timetable:
10:00 Museum opens
10:30 Riders’ Signing on and Briefing 
11:00-12:00 Practice 
12:30 Talk & Lunch in the Napier Room (£15 for shepherds pie & vegetables or vegetarian option + fruit crumble + custard) 
14:00 Races, including the De Dion Bouton 5mile Championship 
15:30 Awards Ceremony

Unveiling of a Plaque commemorating the Baptism of Herbert (Lord) Austin at Little Missenden.
Wed 8th of November 2017.

For some time the North Herts Centre, in conjunction with the Austin Seven Club (London), considered the possibility of having a plaque erected at St John The Baptist Church, Little Missenden, Bucks, to commemorate the baptism of (Baby) Austin. At last we have got the go ahead and a plaque will be erected - and unveiled at 2pm on the 8th of November, Austin's birthday.

We welcome all Austin enthusiasts, preferably in their Austins to witness the unveiling.

(Some members of the A7Owners Club will visit the church at midday on Sunday the 5th of November and the plaque will be available for a preview on that day for any who can't make the Wednesday date.)

There's a great Pub, The Red Lion, in the village. Some of us will meet there for lunch then walk or drive the 100 metres or so to the church. The pub can get crowded so we would recommend booking a table. Their phone No is 01494 862876.

So we have an idea of numbers, would you contact ;
Janet Edroff at o1438 723779 janetedroff@ntlworld.com or
Ken Cooke 01438 227354 ken.cooke@ntlworld.com

Hope to see you there,
