All good advice. I would get the Ruby on the road and enjoy it. It is a strange fact that as you get older and the more time you have been involved with Austin 7's, the more you crave the earlier, more agricultural models. Possibly the slight loss of hearing with age makes the noise of the earlier cars more acceptable?
I have to admit that whilst I have owned Austin 7's for 46 years, and my first was a rather tired Mk 1 Ruby CRA 212, I have never driven or even been a passenger in a Mk 2 Ruby.
Amongst my small circle of Austin 7 friends we all rate the early SWB steel saloons (RL and RM).
