Re: WW2 era Austin 10 wanted

The DH museum is a new one to me. Must pay it a visit.

I have distant memories of visiting the factory to see the Comet 1 fly and in production on the line. Both very noisy!

Re: WW2 era Austin 10 wanted

A GRQ is fairly rare (the 1939 & wartime model) but the post-war GSI looks the same and I have seen them painted up as WWII staff cars looking very smart. Another option is the Tilly 10hp truck as in the pics of Princess Elizabeth in the ATS. Hope you find what you are looking for. Try also the clas...

Re: Austin 12/4 my chassis number v DVLA info

Phil H34257 is a legitimate chassis No. for an Austin Light 12/4 11.9hp dating from 1936 - probably June or July. If it is a saloon it will be an Ascot with a Car No (Body No) prefix HBX and 5 numbers, though the plate may be missing. That may be the 8 character No. that DVLA is expecting. Your engi...

Re: Hood, windscreen &c. for Ten Sports

If it is OY 9235 it is NOT a sports model but a Two-Seat & Dickey Tourer (a nicer car than the Ripley Sports model in many ways). A very good one of these sold at auction at Beulieu International Autojumble for less than the price asked for OY 9235. See also comments on Facebook. Worth haggling! A m...

Re: Grille badge

Just spotted this Peter, you can get the badge with and without “Seven”…. all the flat rad Sevens just had the Austin script, so just choose the early one! Austin script badges for the flat-rad 10 are available from ATDC Spares so no need to seek one from Seven Workshop. Past posts on this thread r...

Re: Water

Austin Cambridge has the drain tap on the bottom tank of the radiator and NOT on the bottom water branch (BWB) like the earlier cars. But is often difficult to open. On mine I have had to drain system by removing the BWB and bottom hose, but this does not drain the last drop out of the radiator bott...
