What have you done today with your Austin Seven

The top of the surround was angled out slightly which just looked wrong. I also flushed (with hydrochloric acid) the radiator and made sure there were no leaks. I straightened any bent bits with thin needle nose pliers and I also cut the overflow pipe short so I can run a catch tank from it. Today it will all get a coat of paint. I cleaned and painted the radiator support brackets and made new back plates for them too since the old ones were pretty rusty. 

Then I watched this, pretty old now but still good: 



Some nice shots of Brooklands at about 17 minutes in.

What a brilliant collection of race films- and lovely to see Bill Boddy !

What an amazing development at Mercedes just before the war - a 2 litre car designed and built in 6 months.

Thank you for this Simon !
