hi hedd,
sorry i dont have a clue what the original reg was.
and cant be sure there were ever paperwork at kirby wiske. i know the edmonds auction family quite well, so i know from them they were not allowed in the house for any paperwork.
as we know the company ran for a long time.
as the engine and chassis were there, its likely it came in as a complete car for spares, anywere from the 1930s to 2010.
if anyone can work out the reg from there, it would bring the cars history back to it.
hi bill.
as for how much you have to have before a car is original, that can only be each individuals decision. and on this forum would be like opening a big can of worms that nobody could get the lid back on.
for me the only part that has to be original, is the chassis. it the number on the chassis that gives the car meaning and acceptance for what it is and when it was originally made.
from there it down to each individual,
the original engine is nice, but i wouldnt turn a nice car away because it has an age apparent engine.
same as the rest of the parts, i want them to be age apparent, not original to the car.
as for body, i love someone to prove there is a 1923 austin 7 body out there that has NEVER been repaired. it dont exist. so its up to each person how much repair, is no longer original.
just my opinion, thanks tony
