The Archivist who appears unable to log in as such from his phone, tells me he will try to purchase this. He thinks this, and a load of other stuff from the same vendor, is a broken down lot from the Bonhams Beaulieu sale

That young man looks like he could do with a fox fur collar as well !

I like the "prancing lady" mascot.

OL 166 was first on the Boulogne racer, then appeared on different cars, that was an Austin registration number. Now it's on the Boulogne racer body built by Barry Argent

Has the OL registered survived? If so, are there other Sevens with numbers ending in 6? A trawl through might pin the owner down if it isn't OL 166.

If you click on my link above you will see that a picture of the Boulogne cars is included.

Quite a few pictures of Standard Sports here -> https://austinharris.co.uk/car/austin/se...ard-sports

All the reg numbers here -> https://austinharris.co.uk/the-cars

Sadly the "drill down" search I had built up over the years got destroyed when the server it was on was hacked by Russians... One day I'll get the time to rebuild it, maybe.
