Hi Colin, I wanted a 7 from the day I passed my driving test 55yrs ago, saw a Ruby in the local paper for £18.10 shillings £18.50 today. My dad who worked in the motor trade talked me out of it-slow, rubbish brakes etc,etc & that was that. Fast forward 51 years & I finally bought one after selling our 4 motorbikes on doctors orders. I bought a PD open top two door without even sitting in it. The first drive my wife and I wondered what the heck we had bought. It was slow, rattle, wandered all over the road and almost refused to stop. 4 years & lots of work & a lump of money later it’s a totally different car. It steers well, stops reliably and is a joy to drive. Over the 4 years we have done about 1000 miles. Everyone you meet knows someone who has had a 7. As long as I am able to drive it will never be for sale- every mile is a buzz that puts a smile on my face.
Buy one and enjoy.
