Re the Kempton, a few years ago the local VAR mag covered a similarly stylish unrestored car which had passed from "enthusiast" to "enthusiast" locally. Dont know where the very un Austin bodies came from but apparently common to Adler or somesuch?
With our RP my father used to meticulously check mpg. i can remember him occasionally running the car out to a stop (not unsafe in the late 1940s) We visited grandparents 200 miles away twice a year with two adults not of modern proportions and two children, and gear, at 40-45 mph where the winding roads of the time allowed. He claimed a regular 50 mpg.
