What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Despite the cold weather (6 degrees in the garage) over the last few weeks I've managed to get lots done on the seven (restoration began in 1986 and is looking like another year might do it) so the 4 wings/mudguards are all on, everything lined up so the bonnet fits properly, steering all back together and it works, handbrake and footbrake now working too.

Today was a super sunny day so instead of hiding in the garage we went a few miles in the modern to have a perambulate around Easingwold and it's market. Not only did we see an RP (I think) drive through, but maybe half an hour later we saw it drive through again in the opposite direction. Think it was WD 5148.

Being bucked up by this I went home and spent a couple of hours on the seven. Then took the 1955 Austin out for a trundle in the dark..... and ran out of petrol. Walked home a mile or so, and back, to then see my wife's car had been parked about 15 yards away all the time. I could have gone for petrol in that, no need to walk. Hey ho.
