Introduction from a New Owner!

[Mike Costigan]

Hi

Just a very wild thought…. If your heritage certificate states that the original car was khaki. Would that imply any military connection?  I’m not sure if the Portuguese military have any records?

Your chassis damage looks much worse than mine (which was just a crack). However the steel Austin used is very weldable.

Good luck

Cheers

I think April 1930 is too early for there to be a military connection. The British army was at the forefront of mechanisation, and the earliest Austin Seven with military was the Mulliner scout car which was first trialled in late 1928; the British army was still evaluating the concept in 1930.
