Hi All

As I haven't got around to building the new engine for the Cup Model yet,  it's still using the engine from my Fabric Saloon. The weather is getting decidedly wintery now, so I got around to wondering whether anyone has any drawings for the Cup Model hood frame.

I have seen a 'proper' one and it's a reasonably complex affair, but think that it would be worth getting it right.

All the best

Peter

Seems a shame if it is, whats there looks to have been on the road recently, is it me or have the change's to the UK licensing laws encouraged more and more of this sort of thing.

This looks fun but you'd need a bigger garden than ours!

EDIT


I am not selling the car no idea who's the owner and never seen the car
The purpose of my post is photo number 4 and the description "A lovely example of a relatively original Ulster"
Huh is it really an Original Ulster? i
Hopefully it will help a buyer to ask questions about the originality of the car and see this thread so he can make up his mind.

Just spent a delightful part of the morning chatting with Susan Woodrow,wife of the late Doug Woodrow author of The Austin Seven Manual, for anyone considering any mechanical involvement with their Austin an essential addition to the bookshelf.
Followed several copies that have been listed on internet auction sites.. good condition,few oily smudges squire.. that usually end up at the thick end of £60-70. Online bookstores vary,some at ridiculous asking prices... so what a pleasure to find Susan Woodrow,still driving her 28 Chummy,sells new volumes for £47.99 plus £6.50 p&p.
She can be reached on: 01945 430058..what a cracker of a gift for Christmas morning.

                   
Getting to know my new project! I now have unearthed it's real chassis number:149497 & body no: AG1357 and confirmed the block is M163594 with the sporty(!) head. manifold & carb.
What does the assembled wisdom (!) think of some of these

1. The front axle is braced (with a triangulating tube) from the radius arm. (boy racer?)
2. What about this modification to the rear spring !
3. Can someone tell me what period the diff case is from? The car has a 4 speed box & is fitted with 17" wheels, One has this strange cap (just bashed on perhaps?) all the others have  "shiny"  centres, no motifs.
4. The forward sidescreens have Lift a dot fasteners (!) but nothing to attach it to the "hook" on the screen pillar, although there is a slide rail that looks as if it should take something. Nice original rivets on the sidescreen! 
Some photos attached although as I haven't qiuite come to grips with the technology, they may be in odd places, sorry!
Hope it makes sense

Hello, Apologies if this is a basic question or if it has been covered before but what is envolved in lowering the steering using a wedge - is it quite straight forward?

Thanks, Hamish

A friend of mine has an old photo album showing this car, i azsume supercharged at Brooklands in 1928. The "200". 

Also an earlier photo of it with a normal cowl. Obviously and earlier incarnation. It has open centre whhleels in that pic. 

Is it a well known car?

A 1925 Engine M14371 has turned up in a load of ruby Spares. 

It is complete but has not been moved from its packing crate for photos yet.

 I have convinced the owner that it should really go to someone with a 1925 car who needs it. Therefore before it is advertised on the open market elsewhere the purpose of this thread is to ascertain if anyone on here has an interest.

Just thought I'd post this -
I was a Brooklands the other weekend and was lucky enough to shake hands with this chap  with his Bomb Disposal vehicle -  
He had driven it all the way up from Dorset and late evening well into dark, he was driving all the way home again.
Do we know him?

Do we know of other fantastic military A7's like this ?
