As we built up towards the Centenary and the creation of the Pop Up museum, I purchased a number of postcards that represented the warmth which which people came to feel about small cars - many of which were clearly based on the Austin 7 (The Woolworth 6 was often referred to) I bought a copy of this postcard and in the panic before the event forgot all about it, only finding it the other day tucked in a book I had been reading at the time.

“Missus, you didn’t watch the fuel gauge. You filled up too quickly and now petrol is siphoning out of the breather pipe.”

“Quiet, small boy. The car was borrowed for a photo shoot by the Prime Minister, who had never previously tried to put petrol into a motor car. Any anyway, it’s not a Ruby, so run along.”
