Congratulations on your recent acquisition, Trevor. Once you have done the necessary work you will have a very practical and attractive little car.
Regarding your round Britain Challenge, I admire your ambition but would suggest that you get a few miles under the cars belt before attempting it. A few years ago I looked into the possibility of doing the Scottish coastline (the best bit, even spoken as a Yorkshireman), and I reckoned it would take about ten days minimum.
Keep us up to date with your progress on the car, a few of us regulars on the forum took quite a fancy to it and it will be good to see the finished product.
When the time comes for you to start the Round Britain Challenge, the Forum members may be able to rally round and support you on each section of the run.
With the cancellation of last years events and the major Austin 7 Centenary Rally next July, 2022 looks like being a very busy year. I would suggest using next year as an opportunity to get the car properly sorted by putting a decent mileage on it, with a view to doing the Challenge the following year.
