Very nice Tony but given our weather particularly this summer I'll stick with my box it's probably OK in Australia but you will need the hood up to stop your brain being fried as some centenary entrants found out.

Must be uncomfortable to drive with that small steering wheel and the steering column angle.

It looks like the sort of car that on mainland Europe would come with a satchel.

Quick scan down comments, and yes, satchels mentioned already!

Nice colour. Ford Radiant Red perhaps.

From our busy Clubmember Lachlan on Bruny Island- off Tasmania.
He loves it but I am not so sure- too 'fussy' for me.
Lachlan regularly drives his Austins from Bruny to Victoria for events- a major sea and land adventure !

David's an expert on Ford colours - he's spot on, it's the one he chose for his build. When I took it to the local "Classic Ford Restoration" garage to borrow their ramp, the two chaps exclaimed in union "Radiant Red!"

Same colour as British soldiers in the Boer war? — easily spotted at a distance.

I love the steampunk instrumentation!
