Please help locate Austin 7 FDH 378 - Find FDH378 - 27-08-2017

   
Hi from Sydney, Australia

Here's a link to a picture of FDH 378 - my grandad's first car he bought after WW2. It's a blue and blank 1935 Austin 7 Ruby. He owned it through the 1950s and later up-sized to a Humber to fit his family of seven children!

According to the UK registration check, it still exists and is linked to the Midlands Austin 7 club and the Austin 7 club of London.

Has anyone seen this car? Own it? Know of it?

I'd love to find out where it is - and hear stories of its current life.

Kind regards,

Alastair

Hi Alastair,
The car is still owned by a Midlands Austin 7 Club member. He is Frank Powell, and he has given permission for me to pass on his email address:
frnkpowell@gmail.com
He has some early history of his car, but would like to find out more.
Regards, Andy Lowe
