Why not do it. Yes after all that, really, why not!I've been mulling over what project I will do after I retire (shortly I hope). There are so many of these left in the world, you can get newly manufactured spare parts.

Is that an Austin 7. I have always been a fan of BMC cars and posted (most likely many pages upthread) between myself and my dad we own a 1948 Riley 2.5 and a 1928 Riley 9 open Tourer. I have also owned a 1972 MGB flow through and when my sister went on an extended holiday some 30+ years back she gave me her 1968/9 MGB as a loaner and to look after. I was played as she gave me her MGB in poor condition knowing I would would most likely fix it, which I did.I've been mulling over what project I will do after I retire (shortly I hope).

Yes. I've known several people over the years that have owned them, and even been on drives - you can understand what they are called "Chummy". It's a balancing act between what I could maintain, store, and if required, pop onto a trailer to get there and/or back. At 1m wide and 1.9m wheelbase, it's manageable.

The biggest issue is space. We only have a single garage. I could borrow/rent some garage space. I'm researching different options.Why not do it. Yes after all that, really, why not!

Before, in 1963, there was a letter at the end relating to the year it was first registered. e.g. T for 1979, N for 1974.
