Thank you all for this conversation - and for the warm welcome. Yes, I believe it is the same car, though when I click on the links all I get is the page to submit info, I can't seem to call up the information - is this correct. When I picked up the car, the PO showed me this printout which seemed to indicate that the chassis number B 6298 is not actually the "VIN" - Is there another number and where would any number be listed? (Jeff you reference car B6230 in the body of your post - is that just a reference to give an indication of when mine might have been built or a typo?)
Likewise, I have two engines - is there a way of knowing which would have actually been in the car?
Finally, you all jumped into a etymology conversation, almost none of which I actually understand. So, to recap, I own a:
1930 Austin 7 PA Tourer.
It was never called a Boat tail
It was never called a Chummy
but if I call it a chummy or a boat tail people might correct me but they will know what I am talking about.
Is this correct?
so much to learn - thanks all!
