Received mine today and looks very good.
Came to complete it however and now realise I don't exactly know what I'm doing.
Although called an "Austin 7" I believe the actual RAC rating was 7.8 HP so should the HP box be filled in with an 8?
Also what would the fee have been? I have a disc which would have expired on 31st December 1929. From what I've managed to find it looks as though the tax rate at that time was £1-00-00 per HP so would the annual cost have been £8-00-00?
Finally I seem to recall that the seat capacity and unladen weight were only completed for goods vehicles but does anyone know if this is correct.
Thought I'd ask on the forum rather than PM Barry as the answers may help others.
John.
