Good morning Mike.
Thanks for the reply and yes it is the same photo, what a joy it is that our past heritage of working life has not been thrown in the skip. This photo had similarities to my grandfather as he was a radio and tv engineer from foots cray in Kent and his Austin seven van was sign written.
The van in question was a ruby seven and I am in touch with the new owner who is doing a great job getting it ready for the road,
The new owner informs me this should be completed within the next couple of years and what a head turner it will be.
I am unable to give the registration or name of the new owner but some of you out there may already know this marvellous gentlemen.
Good morning Nick,
Thanks for a speedy response and yes I was aware that the car had now downed a new paint colour of blue and was re registered in 2018. Joy and joy came to mind as there is still a chance of finding the car that was in a very sorry state of repair.
For all of your readers out there my grandfather had a soft spot for Austin sevens not just for work but pleasure to, the car was split from a rare van approximately 10 years ago.
We all have dreams and mine would be to see the two sevens side by side at a show somewhere, omg that would be fantastic for me and my grandfather would have been so happy, god rest his sole.
Thank you.
Good morning Mike.
