A lovely collection of pictures - thanks for posting
"My" Austin Seven is actually registered to my wife, and we take equal turns driving.
"Triplex glass £20 extra" That bumps the price of the saloon up by a surprising 13%, equivalent to several thousand pounds in today's money. I guess it was a new thing in 1927, but only a few years later was a standard feature. Glass (and the means to support it) must add a fair bit to the cost and weight of a small car.
