Any clues about this car?

[John Mims]

Apart from Bob's ramblings, the car is an Austin 7 Ace, less the two spare wheels and front sweeping (heavy) wings.  The fairing contained tools, and one opened the top to turn the crankhandle.  Many made here in Victoria & the Regn plate is indeed Victorian.  Will look to see if I have it recorded when I get home.  My guess (knowing Oz sense of humour) would be the "Palace" would be a nicknmae for their homestead.   Cheers,  Bill in Oz

Thanks, Bill, what a mine of information. And fascinating, too. Be interesting to see if the car is in your records.

The forum does it again!

Thanks again
