Anyone on here own a vintage Austin or Morris 1930’s near to Aberdeen?

Yeah basically I’ve been desperate to buy something along those lines for a while but have never ridden in one, actually I haven’t even sat in one but would like to see just what their like. Something along the lines of a Morris Bullnose would be my cup of tea or even a cheeky little Austin 7 oh don't you just want to give it a cuddle its sooo cute!

Anyone?

bear in mind cars of that era are tiny - so you're right to try before you buy.

fortunately I'm only 5ft 5in, so I might even fit in something as small as the Austin 7...

i think i saw a midget on a bandit the other evening. No joke.

Looked horrifically dangerous, like a child on the back of a rocket.

Bloody hell, I feel quite big sitting on my bandit, then today I saw a guy that must have been 25 stone sat on a bike that had wheels skinnier than a push bike - looked well dodge.

I'm nowhere near Aberdeen, but I have sat in an austin 7 and I second the tiny motion, but you're a foot shorter than I am so should be fine. I think you should get a moggy instead and do the mongolia run!
