This car is obviously not many peoples cup of tea, and not one I'd chass after.
But think of how many times you have sed or heard this line. There's no youngsters coming into the austin 7 world.
I don't know who the new owner is, but he could be one of those new youngsters. With his iPhone. And like most youngsters on ugly face book, he may even one day find this forum.
I wouldn't be surprised if this car doesn't quickly come back up for sale, and the new owners looks to get his enjoyment from a friendlier part of the old car world?

Not really sure what you're getting at here Tony. Perhaps I'm missing a joke somewhere.
However, speaking as a "youngster" I would have said it was highly unlikely anyone in my age range (that is late 20s/ early 30s) would have been willing to spend 38k on this car. Most wouldn't have 38k to spend on anything.
There's no joke,
And as usual, things on the forum can't be read without taking them out of context.
i have a vivid imagination, and although YES YES YES it's unlikely to be a 20 year old who has bought it. But who's to say a billioneer hasn't bought it for his 20 year old son.
What I am saying, is We should welcome these new owners, you never know they might even go on to be a large asset to the austin 7 movement .
Tony.
I don't think you get to be a billionaire by chucking your money away that unwisely!
