Austin Sevens in Australia
#10
    My interest in Austin 7's started with my great aunt's 1931 Tourer with coachwork by 'Queensland Motor Body Works'.
When the roads in Brisbane became too crowded to continue to ride her horse, complete with side saddle she purchased her first car which she retained for the rest of her life. She gave up driving in the 1950's but my aunt continued to take her out for a weekly drive for many years.
When the the second owner bought it to Melbourne in 1972 for the first National Austin 7 Rally in Australia it was unfortunate for him that my parents were also there and recognising the Austin were able to explain to him that it was not possible for him to have owned it for as long as he had stated on the entry form.
One unusual feature was the side curtains were in the style of a retractible Holland blind mounting on two pieces of timber built into the non fold down hood.
Apologies for the poor quality of the photo converted from a 1960's Kodak slide.
