About

This site is just a good place to store things I want to find again later, or where I’ve spent considerable time considering information that might be useful to others too.

I found this picture of my grandfather long after having purchased a restorers guide and several books on the Austin Seven, perhaps as diversionary reading to prevent actually getting my hands dirty. Having had a brief spell working on Classic & Sportscar and Autosport magazines after University, I’d had an interest in old cars since learning to drive.

An occasional Classic car newspaper and magazines a year seemed to halt any urges, until a late night ebay purchase…

While archiving some of my other grandfather’s cartoons, I came across this rather prescient image. A child’s car, but with Seven spirit!
