That's such a disappointment Hugh. But you made the right call.
Since the photos are likely to have been acquired by someone with a genuine interest in Austin 7s there's just a chance they may be on this forum or known by people on the forum. I do hope that if this message reaches them they might consider allowing the A7CA archive to make digital copies.
(As for the commission charged by the auction house - outrageous. I long ago began to question the view that bidders take it into account and lower their bids accordingly. Many don't. If the bidder has deep enough pockets they simply pay the price and swallow the commission charge).
