What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Mike Costigan]

Ruiairidh, as you can see I have the bottom of the radiator blanked off, resulting in the running temperature perhaps a little higher than in high summer, and the car ran like a bird. Familiar gradients that I usually manage at 35mph were dispatched at an easy 40mph, and I was cruising at 45mph on a virtually closed throttle. And I should add a big thank you to Dave Mann for a successful resurrection of a pile of FZB bits which has also improved the performance.

Edit: I've just spotted your cheeky reference to oil ... no comment
