Hello,

I have a starter motor that would spin, but not engage the engine.  It was working fine a few months ago but the last time I tried to start the car (before pulling the engine apart) it wouldn't turn the engine at all.

Anyone had a similar problem, and solutions would be greatly appreciated.  I want it working again when I get the engine back together. (1938 Austin 7)

Thanks

Geoff

Hi All,

My car(Ulster rep) has been converted to 12 v using a Morris Minor 1000 cut out. The car is physically in the UK(I'm in Seattle) and realized I'm not sure if it is fused. Looking at what I think is the same cut out on Ebay, it appears that there is a single fuse under the cover. Is this correct and is this all I need, or should I consider a separate fuse block? In photos of original Sevens, which are obviously 6V, there appear to be two covers, one for the cut out and I assume the other for a fuse block. Will one fuse answer my needs, or should I try to find a 12V cut out that has a fuse block under a separate cover?

Beaulieu International Automobile


hi all,

It's that time again, and the UKs largest auto jumble is comeing. International beaulieu.

Perhaps austin 7 stall holders would like to list there stall numbers here so forum members can find them.

I'll start it off with, 7 county Austins. R333 & R334 as usual.

We've taken on a lot of interesting stuff over the last month, see our website http://www.7ca.co.uk

Plus tons of unusual stuff, there hasn't been time to list.

Verious close ratio gear box stuff, 3 speed gearbox with 4 forward gears, a running tuned engine with twin carbs alloy head and sump etc, 15 inch wheel sets, rosengart engine. And so on.

We can't take it all there, so let us know if there's something you want to see there.

Tony.

Hi All,

I understand that there is an original 1930 Supersports near me in Vancouver, B.C. It was a featured car at Pebble Beach in 2003. Does anyone know the history of this car and how original it is? It is apparently owned by David and Daphne Switzer.

Feeling autumn here in Seattle.

Swallow Register at Amberley Museum, West Sussex

Amberley Museum and Heritage Centre, Arundel BN18 9LT

The swallow register are visiting Amberley Museum on Saturday, as part of their 'Swallow Weekend'. 
On the sunday they will be displaying at Weald & Downland Living Museum, as part of the Steam & Vintage Weekend. THREAD HERE
For more information check the Swallow Register page, HERE

I am interested in hearing from anyone who has arrived in Amsterdam and then driven their Seven southwards please.

I am considering this port as an arrival point for an upcoming tour in the Austin and would appreciate some first hand knowledge of the smaller roads around this area - I have been told that it is a busy place and I do not want to end up on dual carriageways and motorways.

A small number of users have contacted me as they were struggling to log on - should anyone else reading this be in the same situation please drop me a line to say so at:

dunford1@aol.com

and I will attempt to get it all working for you.

Just removed the drop arm from a late model steering box, the crack is not visible from the outside and would be difficult to see with the drag link attached.
