Hi
The one mark coin just happens to be the precise weight needed to finely balance the propshaft, and ensure the near silent and vibration free driving experience for which Austin Sevens are renowned !

And the cost for this balance propshaft weight. Just One German Mark. (If you can still find one.)

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.

A fine idea Colin. Perhaps we could limber up with an impromptu, 'I'm walking backwards for Chreeeestmassss'?

In 1961 my first car was a 1933 Chevrolet which had seen better days. While investigating its loose steering I discovered a ha'penny neatly sandwiched between the adjusting nut and ball joint of the tie rod end.
Sadly the ha'penny dated 1950 was not a collector's piece.
