A closer look at JH 5024, the Pre-War Austin 7 Club's saloon which I'm babysitting as part of the Classic Car Loan Project. The car was restored in the early eighties by Dave Wilcox, and purchased by the club to involve young people in vintage car ownership. What's your favourite feature of the car? Mine is definitely the front-opening safari window! Identifying Austin 7s from their Factory Ini...

As part of the Classic Car Loan Project, the PreWar Austin 7 Club are loaning me a RP Box Saloon for a year to try out vintage motoring. In this episode, join me for the hand-over in Lincoln, where we chat to chairman David Booth, I try and get my head around timing controls, and crunch many gears - and still leave with the keys to the 88-year-old motor!

    If I got an Austin 7 for a year for free I’d probably die of happiness. My dream car is an A30 and very close behind is a 7. But I might even buy a 7 first, should it happen that way.

    i'm pleased young people are being encouraged to get interested in pre war cars but it would be great if there was a scheme for us oldies to be given a similar opportunity, i'm 70 and still would love the chance to drive a pre_war, even only for a day, it might even encourage me to buy one!

    back in the early nineties, I owned several A7s. A box saloon, which I, and my wife, restored from a wreck to a nice, practical, attractive car. We bought a sports car, with a home made body, and this became our first racer, in VSCC events and 750 mc ones. A second sports car arrived, we rebuilt it, got more power from the engine, and now my wife and I had a racer each! A swap got us a really competitive car, and a championship in 750 mc . Ran out of money after 6 years of enjoyment. Sold the racers but kept the box saloon, which was always at the front of the queue on the way to work! years followed, racing in formula Vee, and later, formula Junior with an Elva 200. Happy times!

    ALL Austin 7s had oodles of character in a way that few others could claim - simply because so many people had one as their first car and so many of them were given names by the owners e.g., Ethel, Sadie, Edgar, Oscar, Millicent. Try naming characterless Japanese cars today; It just doesn't work!

    A really lovely little car and it's great that it's being used and hasn't become an over restored "garage queen" The only thing I have noticed is quite a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust. This is usually a sign of worn bores and/or rings (both my Morris 8's were the same) Does it use quite a lot of oil ?

    Well done Liam and the Austin 7 club, great work. You are moving in the right direction to keep classic car on the road, I have owned my Stag for 42 years and my Lancia for 40 years and I have my daughter and my grandson lined up to continue the ownership, (Not yet, maybe in 10 years if all goes well). keep up your activities. All the best Bob

    Well done on the award- well deserved, I spent the weekend on one of the neighbouring stands and snuck over to watch the video a couple of times- and had a sit in your car to see if I actually fitted (yes- they're more spacious than they look!). Have finally got around to watching the rest of the videos!

  • @Rust_in_Time
    @Rust_in_Time 2 роки тому

    What he says about most young people being more interested in modern Japanese vehicles is unfortunately quite true in my experience, but at least this channel (and my own for that matter) is trying to do something about it. Keep up the good work!

  • @Rust_in_Time
    @Rust_in_Time 2 роки тому

    So good that people in the UK are encouraging young people. I had to buy all my classics myself here in Australia but on the bright side, I'm probably the only 19-year-old with four full restoration projects on the go at once...
