The post on windshield washers got me thinking about accessories for our cars.
Has anyone documented all the various wonderful items one could buy in the thirties that were available ? Perhaps we should start a thread on this? Cheers, Stephen

One accessory I have never missed in my RP is a heater. It gets quite warm enough inside without one! More so with the 4 blade fan.
Nobbies are probably the most enduring, and Motometers.

Steve,
I have somewhere a Brown Brothers catalogue from perhaps just postwar with Austin 7 accessories shown. I will try and find it and post bits of it. Dave.

What about one of those hopeless screen heather bars? The ones with a sucker on either end. Or a set of 'Town and Country' tyres?
I have an ad somewhere for wheel disks which look very smart (?).

Well I've had a quick look round some austin extras.
Sorry the pics are not the best, things are packed away for the winter. If anyone wants to do a book on this sort of thing, I can always take better pics. [attachment=1627] Knee horns were made by different company's. But there is a P&H and DESMO here. I had one with a big C as a supplier on as well. [attachment=1628] Couple more. [attachment=1629] One of many locking petrol caps. [attachment=1630] Autovac petrol gauge for 7hp. [attachment=1631]

Tony,
That top horn looks as though it could do with a little Viagra. Dave. |
