Bill Boddy used to write for Mayfair, so the Austin article will be good ...

Yes Mike but would her who has to be obeyed really believe that you bought it for the Austin Seven article however good it was wrote. Is it worth being in the dog house for a month or two.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.

I remember the article on Sevens well, and as Mike supposes, written by Bill Boddy. A well thumbed copy was around at Ray Walker's place in Cambridge.
I acquired a copy and passed it to my father who enjoyed reading motoring articles. Around a week later I called in at my parents home to be confronted by my mother who, thrusting the magazine into my hand, remarked " Don't ever bring another of those here - your father was uncontrollable "

Be very wary about what Ebay may recommend you next....
