not much more on my car
My boy's skateboard is bigger than that!!
Thing is, it's still more than strong enough to cope with an Austin 7 engine!

My neighbour (well into his 80's) has an Austin 7 saloon, and an Austin 7 special (basically a custom bodied "sports car" based on the
chassis you see in the picture), and although their performance is rather pedestrian by our standards, they are lovely old cars. The care and
attention that he lavishes on them is no different to us with our cars.
He introduced me to his mate the other day, who turned up in a Bentley 4.5 litre (a Bentley Blower, without the Blower). He'd just returned from
a 1600 mile "jaunt" across Germany. On style alone, he wins. Hands down.
I love those old cars ... but I just know I would *never* have the patience, or pocketbook, to look after them properly. Still, at the end of the day,
its got wheels, it runs on petrol, and makes people happy.
That works for me :-)
Cheers

This chassis was the backbone of the 750 Motor Club.
