Thanks Hugh, as a footnote my friend Graham Ockleston came into possession of these two drawings in the late 70's, at the time he made a couple of photo copies which found their way eventually to Chris Gould and have previously been published in the UK. Graham subsequently raised a family and restored an old house amongst other things, his Austin interests largely gathering dust waiting for their turn, a few years back Graham started to find time to become active again and showed me the drawings. I was quite stunned I knew he had them for some time but anticipated that they were copies not originals, Graham now realising the significance of what he had in his possession wanted them preserved and I suggested that by donating them to the Clubs Association they would be protected and all A7 enthusiasts would have access. Being the originals they scale accurately, unlike the previous published copies, as such were extremely helpful to the Ulster build projects happening within the Auckland Vintage Austin group of enthusiasts. Hopefully they will help a few others world wide and we owe Graham a huge thanks for freely donating these to the greater good rather than trying to make money selling them privately.
