Water ski?
#25
Edit: This is my first post - hi everyone! I'm currently looking to buy an Austin 7.

After seeing this ad and realising that the car was pretty local to me I went to view it last night.

From my poitn of view, and not knowing a huge amount about these cars its was 'ok'. It looked good - body work looked well done from my brief look in a dimly lit garage - he said it belonged to Fuzz Townsend until a couple of years ago. He bought it off Fuzz a couple of years ago and added the boat tail himself. The engine runs, but it sounded rather rough. I wasn't able to drive it as it was getting dark (he has land where it could have been driven) so no idea if the drive train / brakes were in working condition. There were several leaks under the car - differential, engine and some other place that i'm not too sure where it was coming from.

The 2 biggest issues to me are the price - it needs a fair amount doing to it i'd say, and £8k starting price on ebay seems way too much to me, and more importantly the fact that it has shortened chassis and no V5. I posted a question on the A7 facebook page last night about registering an shoterend A7 without a V5 and there has been some debate about that subject!
