Oil tight Austin Seven?

[Bob Culver]

Have to concede the owner puts up a good case. just a pity he could not have found a less original car. I am also surprisd that it was elaborately repainted before the serious modification. A nice looking car does inspire work but also requires a lot of care. 
I find even a scruffy common 1960s car in regular use attracts a lot of interest so if the handling is acceptable the "Seven" could be  fun. 
I found a problem with the Seven was that pedestrians did not take seriously; assumed a low approach speed, and esp on the dim beams. Several were saved only by the ability to execute box like avoidance swerves. A silent approach would make matters worse.
