Hi, wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction ? My Dad owned what I think was an Austin 7 which he renovated and sold on in about 1975...he adored his car but family finances meant it had to go. He is 89 and talks of the car often, I was wondering if anyone here knew of it ? BNN 547 1935

Try sending a message to the A7CA Registrar. If the car is on the register he can forward your message to the relevant club. Basically the rule is that the Registrar will pass on messages. It is up to the owner to decide whether he will respond.

1935 means that it's likely to be a Ruby saloon, but if you could confirm that it might help.

Have you posted this on the Facebook "Austin Seven" group?  Quite a lot of members of that don't seem to use this forum.
