Mark and Kim, New Austin 7 Owners

[Mark-and-Kim]

Hi people

 We are Mark and Kim from Hilperton naer Trowbridge Wilts and we have not long become the proud owners of a gorgious 1933 Austin 7 RP.

So much to learn about this type of vehicle and we are just recommissioning the engine after a long 12 year period of storage before we purchased her.

 My Uncle has an RP up in Fleet and we have made friends with a couple here in Trowbridge who have an RP and a Tourer.

Anyway, thats enough for now but we hope to join in and glean knowlage from the learned masses on here.

All the best Mark and Kim

Welcome aboard!

That's a pretty little car!

[Mark-and-Kim]

Thank you.

 Its in very good structural and cosmetic condition.

 Engine needs a little post storage work and the front screen needs adjustment to fit the apature better. Other then that its ready to go.

Regards
Mark

That looks a lovely car.  Definitely join the BA7C - you're in the heart of their territory.  It's an excellent club, with a very useful spares shed!

I, too, have a '33 RP and have been a Bristol Club member for most of the last 45 years.

By the way - that looks like a nice period number plate fixed to the garage door - it would suit the car much better that the modern pressed aluminium one!

[Nick Turley]

Looks a delight - Hope you get lots of fun with your new treasure.
