What would you include in the perfect Austin Seven workshop?

Wheatley and Morgan nailed it for everyone over 50 years ago, except possibly Stuart Giles who clearly has American sized ambitions.

BTW, I borrowed and read the first Wheatley & Morgan book from one of my brothers just after I bought my Special in 1971. The suggested workshop equipment etc. seemed pretty much fantasy as a home workshop to me as an engineering apprentice earning the princely sum of £7.50 (before stoppages) per week. Our home garage then had a Victorian/maybe Edwardian 'Britannia' lathe and a hand operated pillar drill; at the time I thought that was pretty well equipped, although some bits I made/modded back then were 'homers' produced at work.

My father had a screwdriver (for mixing paint) and a mole wrench so the discovery of proper workshops at school was a revelation!
I now have a Maho and consider a "Deckel-ish" style mill as the home workshop ideal.

For those who don't know the advantages of a 'deckel-style' milling machine, here is the data: http://www.lathes.co.uk/deckel/  With the right accessories (and skill) there
is little that this type of machine could not make for a Seven.

Machined a crankcase casting on mine, so you're probably correct.
The only downside of a Maho over a Deckel is that accessories are ridiculously rare. I made the horizontal overarm for mine.
