Sorry to hear that you didn’t buy it Malcolm, here’s its history from sometime in the 60’s till now I guess ....
The saloon and special were acquired when he (Kevin Mcgarth) lived in Ringwood Hampshire. He moved to Blackpool in 1990 and I brought the cars up to Blackpool then.
The cars were put in his very large garage and never moved until I had to sell them.
My uncle was a very interesting person He was a professional ice skater in the 1960's he worked for the Vienna Ice revue one of his acts was a comedy car routine and the car that he used was an Austin seven tourer that is the 3rd car in the photos. That car went all over the continent and even to Russia with the ice revue, and in the 90's it went to Bangkok as part of the Blackpool Pleasure Beach Ice show my uncle was the company manager for that show.
I now wonder if the current owners would have stripped it knowing it’s history
Cheers
Matthew
