Yes, that was the first thing we confronted him with and also posted pictures of Ruby radiators - as did rather a lot of other people. But, even when faced with a plethora of advertisements from the 1920s into the late 1930s, all using the same "Austin Seven" logo, nothing would shake his conviction that he was right and everybody else was wrong. Unfortunately, he evaporated from view just as I was on the point of mocking up the below and teasing him further by saying, "Gosh, you are right. Look at this, an advertisement where Austin deny the Ruby is a Seven. So, many thanks indeed for your wonderful and intelligent observations." -
