A spare space in my garage is about to be filled.
Arriving, Friday, is a 1927 Chummy.
I'd post a picture, but it never works when I try, so Ruaridh, if you read this, would you mind?

I know you have and here's a photo of it

Excellent Alan. Further proof that spare space in the garage is an abstract concept. Enjoy!
Regards, Stuart

Congratulations on your new arrival!

The ideal car for taking part in one of my PWA7C road runs next year?

The Trialing Section of the Pre War Austin Seven Club is disappointed that Alan has bought such a shiny example when he intended to purchase one for trialing purposes.
However the car is always welcome but we would have to enter it under our newly formed " Concourse Trials Car Class "
Each section is timed as to how long it takes to clean the car to a concourse standard, with points deducted for the amount of mud remaining on the car at the end of the event.

Nice one alan,

Only my opinion, but 1927 was Austins best year for many obvious reasons.

Lovely car Alan, great colour ;)

Scottish registered too!

Brilliant! Vicki says "nice colour".
Does it go? Does the horn work?

Location: Wales

Yes it goes and the horn works. There's some jobs to do to get it as I want it - not sure about the engine spec but I'm leaning towards completely standard. Although I've put a 35 horse engine in a chummy before and it was interesting to say the least.
Malcolm. I might be away sailing in may, but hope to make the September run.

Nice looking car, a model for using.
Space in a garage should always be filled !

Very nice. I've always wanted a Chummy but SWMBO says No.

RR - don't you still have your truncheon? (Only a joke, Auntie) Cheers, Bill

Actually Bill, I don't. It's on display with my old Hyatt handcuffs in a Police/Fire museum in Lucens in Switzerland along with several items of uniform I can't get into any more...

RR - did you hand your outfit in voluntarily? My grandfather,after whom I was named and who helped bring me up, was a copper,starting off in the Mounted. After WW2 - when uniforms were changed, caps replaced helmets and new numbers issued, he was issued with number 1. On retirement, we tried to get him to say he'd lost it, but he was too b..... honest and handed it in. My sister, who is the widow of a detective, says the badge is in the Police Museum in Melbourne, Oz. Thanks, you've reminded me I really must get around to visiting it.
Alan - I love the Chummy. Congrats.
Cheers, Bill

Some items had to be handed back, quikcuffs, CS spray, hasp baton, utility belt & warrant card. I saved a few shirts because they were white and good quality. My m/c leathers and a couple of uniforms and some hats & caps I have to the museum. The only thing I have left is my lapel badge (and the pension!)
Inspector's uniforms are slightly different to those of a PC & Sgt. The Jackets have patch pockets and no numbers.

Inspectors wear uniforms?

Arrived and in my garage.
Every bit as nice as I hoped it would be.
