4 of us went in a small Ford Thames van and slept overnight in the van in order to be the first to get in.
Quite unpleasant sleeping arrangement with 2 blokes in the front seats and 2 in the back. Sleeping next to a cold steel bare wheel arch is not nice and neither was the aroma in the van by the morning.
Cheers,

Ah! That's a shame; I'd hoped it might have been original - a lovely-looking honeycomb type. Of course, this business about the correct type of core has been covered before https://www.austinsevenfriends.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=5032&highlight=radiator+cores - and YC now has the correct Type A Diamond pattern. I remember at one of those first Autojumbles a chap with a dozen or so new steering column tubes complete with Gas and Throttle plates and levers, etc. - and he didn't manage to sell one of them.

I've seen some old cores that were honeycomb.
I believe there was a period around 1930 whwre these were fitted as opposed to the normal Serck A pattern.
