Snowmbile Seven - Spex - 24-05-2020

Many Years ago, I saw a photo of an Austin Seven van in snow. It was  fittrd with skis on the front.
I believe it was in Canada.  The photo was in black and white and taken from rear offside.
I have been trying to find it again, in vain.  Does anyone know of it?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Peter

Many months ago, I saw a picture of an Austin Seven in England. It was fitted with skis at the front. Does anyone know if the suspect managed to sell it?

(with apologies to Peter!)

I remember seeing a picture of an Austin 7 converted for traversing snow, but it was in Norway, not Canada. It had tracks of a sort I believe

Naughty, Steve!

Mr Williams was only doing his bit for winter road safety in frozen Yorkshire!

Who is Mr Williams? I wonder if he wants to buy my special and give it his distinctive look?
Or perhaps I should fit skis myself then people will flock to buy it

Dave, I'd forgotten about the tracks.  Thanks for that.  May not have been Canada, memory is not always correct.
I was, wondering if it was in the grey mag. I do not get them, but looked at some many years ago.
I am still looking.
Cheers, Peter
