Building my first Austin Seven car

[Malcolm Parker]

Great work, Daisy, your new engine sounds very smooth and responsive.    I built my first Austin Seven engine back in 1982 when I was in my mid 20's (pretty old by your standards!).  I built it in my parent's conservatory, and I still have that engine 40 years later.  Unlike you, I didn't have any help when I built it and I followed the advice given in Bill William's book 'Austin 7 Specials'.  It has been in at least four cars (all specials) and I have always kept it when I sold the car.   It is now in the Pytchley and is still going strong.
Great thread and like many others Forumists, I am enjoying following your meteoric progress.
