Austin 7 Annual Rally

1930 Fabric bodied Austin 7 saloon.

Fabric Saloon door handle detail. Also a great view of the patina on the eighty year old fabric. 

 Another Austin 7 nearly ready for the road.

Springs set fairly high, but they will settle.

Door handle detail again. Not what would be found on an English assembled car, but here in Australia the Austin 7 was fitted with all sorts of unusual bits.

Winner of showroom class, this chummy is painted in Nitro Cellulose Acrylic paint like the factory used.

The Austin 7 engine bay is as pristine as the rest of the car
