Thanks so much for all of the great info. folks. I’ll reachout as you all suggest. I am in Ocean Township NJ. There appears to be some American Austin spares availability in the Tri-State area too. Anyone know if any of the mechanicals are interchangeable with a British Austin 7?
Hi Steve,
I am Intrigued by your Opal. Can you send me some pics? Mines needs some work. My Dad did a great job on it, but it has a fuel problem That I need to get to the bottom of. Looking forward to getting into it. I read the turbo pages the othe day. OMG. That is an ambitious project!
Thanks for reaching out Eric. I am looking forward to building my network I’ll definitely need some help and advice.
Thanks for the tip Nigel. Every little bit of info. helps.
I wondered why I didn’t see the name anymore. My Dad always called it the Opal. At one time he owned a Ruby, a Pearl, and the Opal. I got the Opal at 17 (43 years ago). My sister got the Pearl,which she still owns, and my Dad kept the Ruby for many years but then went on to own every model of saloon until he fell for the four seater tourer, which he still rally’s in at age 85 as part of the Scottish Austin seven club.
Hi Martin. I doesn’t have the original v5. It’s a replacement. My Dad transferred the original number since it had sentimental value. AS1492. So it’s on one of his cars now. I don’t think my Austin will return to UK. But you never know. Thanks for the tip.
