Tourer on ebay - what is this really?

[Stuart Giles]

I've just been in contact with the chap as I'd consider swapping my big seven for a "proper" seven, does anyone see anything that would cost major money just to get it back on the road (ignoring accuracy) for the time being, just for a drivable shell?

Adding to what the other chaps on here have said re. the potential cost of sorting the mechanics, there is some really rough repair work on that body, and there aren't any photos of the area where these steel bodies really suffer. Here's my 1931 AG tourer once I'd stripped out the shelf bracket etc. 'repairs' carried out by previous owners.



Of course, I did this work with Oxy Acetylene back in the days before MIG welders were affordable, so less hammer and dolly work nowadays, but still non trivial to ensure that the back of the body stays attached to the front.
