Thanks to bystander for remembering us, a great deal of my time was used making living self employed and my Austin put on the back burner for nearly 30 years although always kept ready to use if not very often.When we first got the car it was used as every day transport for nearly 10 years both summer and winter " oh the glory of charity shop overcoats and hot water bottles " the hot water bottle on many occasions used to defrost the windscreen. Anyway acquiring this top hat really seems to have revived my enthusiasm for all things Austin seven but I am also aware of the history of this car and will do my best to take care of it best regards Rob.
