Home made - not an item of grace.


RE: Unusual Austin for sale? - Colin Morgan - 18-10-2022

Maybe not graceful, but I think it has some charm, especially in this condition.  Apparently it has a Whatmough head of some sort?

Whatmough Hewett head is well worth bidding on!


RE: Unusual Austin for sale? - Graham Barker - 19-10-2022

What is the benefit of that head? Higher compression maybe or softer burn?

Does anyone have a link to the original advert? I've looked but failed to find it...

Ah, hang on....

I suppose the idea came from some of the other Coupes around at the time?  Swallow, Mulliner, Avon etc.

 I wonder if one of companies offering Seven accessories ever produced a roof like the one on the boat-tail?

were they all bench seat?? that looks vaguely original...


RE: Unusual Austin for sale? - Colin Morgan - 19-10-2022

From a quick look on-line, boat-tails didn't usually have bench seats.


RE: Unusual Austin for sale? - Ruairidh Dunford - 19-10-2022

Sports Coupe Prototypes always had a bench seat.

Well I'd give it garage room...
