Took the trailer from here in South Shropshire to Ilkley in West Yorkshire to collect the 1934 tourer from Simon Laxton. Simon has done the full monty - hood, hood cover, side screens, door and panel cards, front and rear seats (thanks to Martin Prior for the new woodwork) and carpet. The photos speak for themselves. Not just superb craftsmanship but a reflection of the fact that Simon knows his Sevens and how to 'get them right'. At my request a couple of concessions to modern comfort such as full carpet and fully trimmed in gorgeous leather. Note the front seats finished (at my request) with original style pin beading across the top. The last photo shows the tourer at home paired up with my 1924 AB tourer, showing ten years of tourer progress. Still a few bits to do on the AH but should be back on the road soon after some 60 years.
