Re: The Austin Service Journal Vol 1 1928

ATDC covers Austins of the 1930s and does not have copies of Austin Service Journals for the Vintage era. Suggest you try the VAR if you are a member. As part of its services to members ATDC gives exclusive access to member-only areas on its website & Forum - just like any other car club. This has n...

Re: Highway Code 2022

When it first came out in 2022 the shops were full of imitations - apparently authorised but all at a higher price than the official one which I could not find anywhere at that time. My first experience of official road training was the Met Police demo given in the street to the pupils at my primary...

Highway Code 2022

Decided it was time to replace my 1987 Highway Code with the new one. Sadly lost my Ernest Marples version many moons ago. In 2022 when the latest version came out there was lots of bruhaha in the motoring press & elsewhere claiming it as anti-motorist and pro-cycling. Much was said about the "1.5m"...

Cheeky Santa Cover pic on Old Mag

This front cover photo from Dec 1996 caused some flurries in committee :D Mag-cover_Dec-1996-comp.jpg The Editor reported he received an anonymous letter complaining about it. Two of the committee then objected "feeling there is no place for this in a car club magazine" So - 3 members out of >1200 :...

Re: Austin 12 New Ascot Cabriolet 1937

Brian My apologies. I think I have a different meaning for "fuss" probably due to my age & upbringing. I meant don't worry about it. Did not mean to patronise. Almost all parts are common with the New Ascot which means that rarity is not a problem. The New Ascot Cabriolet is a very nice car and I am...
