Hi guys, it's Jake (The one who's been doing the Instagram/Facebook posts). Nice to see there's been a bit of interest in what we're up to! We've just arrived home and it's been an absolutely incredible trip.
Charlie owns the car half and half with his dad, we know each other from university and decided a trip like this would be fun, but it was his dad that suggested we take the Austin. We're both mechanically minded, having worked on classics and modern cars - Charlie has worked on the Austin with his dad previously but vintage cars are a new area for me! I'm studying Motorsport Engineering so have been focused on the modern stuff but love older cars - I'm currently restoring a Mk1 Golf
Re sleeping in the car: never again!
