What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Had a phone call from a friend who is new to Austin 7's. His RP had stripped the teeth off its Bosch distributor and he was stuck a few miles away. I had a quick run out in the Nippy with a "new" Lucas one which I had lurking in a box in the garage. Once I had showed him how to time it up on number 1 and fitted it the car sprang into life.
This caused quite a stir with a few locals who had gathered to watch and who commented they quite fancied an Austin 7 as they are so easy to work with and wondered what availability of cars and spares was like. Maybe some new members soon?
Once we got going, I followed Ade back home about 15 miles at 50+ MPH who mentioned it had never gone so well since he bought it so it looks like he'll stick with the Lucas now.
Best wishes,
Nick
