Hi guys and gals
I’m doing a sort out of my parents shed
They have had a Ruby for many many many years. And I have taken on it’s ongoing care
My dad was parts secretary in Wales some years ago and now we have a lot of spare parts that i don’t need to hang on too. Plenty of gear boxes and a few rads. Axels etc. I will sort through it and start listing items. But if any one is after anything in particular let me know and I’ll see if I have it as spare and sort out a fair price.
I’m based in Waterlooville. Hampshire
Cheers
Steve

hello Steve MY wife and I were friends with Jim and Linda for many years , can you tell me are they well, I ask because It is 49 years since we first met and I remember coming to your house in Cwm Bach for a few sundays to weld up the Ruby, the last time we saw them was at Tredegar house about twenty years ago and Jen seems to remember that you were there. If all is well could you give them my email address its robert.regan@live.co.uk best regards Robert and Jenny Regan.

Hi Stephen,
I am looking for a front axel for my 1936 pearl. Ideally in good nick, as I want to restore it and swap it with mine, so I can keep Clara on the road. I am Romsey way, so not too far from you. Thanks

Fond memories of Jim and Linda from those early SWA7C days. One instance that stays with me, is the drive home from Longbridge Rally, 1977 I think. On the Saturday Night there was a Dinner Dance in the Austin Works Canteen. Sunday morning police closed the roads for us to drive through Birmingham around the Bull Ring. The Crisp family were camping on the Rally Field, two very young children, so not much sleep. Jim's Ruby developed stripped studs on the crankcase to block. So a tourniquet around block-crankcase was fitted.
Harry and Jan Hales leading, Jim driving Ruby, Linda in modern with children following Jim, Nora and I in our RL following Linda, off we set for Newport. One of the scariest drives ever! Due to lack of sleep on the Saturday night, Linda had trouble staying awake, and her car was wandering over the roads alarmingly. Eventually reached Newport without mishap, where we went our separate ways.
