A very short SWB

Photos of Austin Seven tractor taken at the 2015 Banbury Steam Rally





Without rear springs, would the tractor at The Vintage Petrol Pump Garage be driveable (comfortable and safe) on the road?

Should the tractor be preserved as a piece of Seven history, broken up for spares or as Tony suggested "it could be a good start for someone to build a nice chummy"?

That last photo isn't a Seven. Or at least wheels, chassis, axles and engine aren't!

The photo, was with the Seven to show people a working car to tractor conversion. I wasn't trying to fool anyone that it was a Seven.

So 10 forward speeds (3x3 then one extra by having having both boxes in reverse) and 3 reverse?

Simon

7 forward speeds:
1st & 1st, 1st & 2nd, 1st & 3rd, 2nd & 2nd, 2nd & 3rd, 3rd & 3rd, R & R.

3 combinations are duplicates:
2nd & 1st, 3rd & 2nd, 3rd & 3rd.

Ah, yes. That's the difference between combinations and permutations
