Ride in an Austin

Hi all.

Want to cast a request out there. My partner Christine loves 7s. We do not yet have our own and i would like to get her a ride in an Austin for Christmas if possible. Happy to pay for the ride. Can anyone help?

We are in South Lancashire near Chorley. Happy to travel .

Thanks in advance

Mike

Mike
I was sure that somebody would have come forward by now. Wrong time of year really, most Austin sevens are tucked up in the garage until spring. I am too far away unless you willingness to travel includes a 300 mile round trip.
Good luck

I am slightly closer, in Wiltshire, let me know if you are passing through.

Or Essex... The car is a dog, but the salt and or bad weather doesn't worry me!

.................or Herefordshire. Our scruffy Sevens are on the road all year round, but we're 140-odd miles from Chorley.

Just to update this thread: I was able to give Christine and Mike a day in the glorious Derbyshire Peak District last weekend - just a shame we couldn't see through the mist!

Mike,
That's very good of you. They would have had a great time.

Very generous of you Mike, it certainly looks as though they enjoyed themselves.

Hi Mike C

Well done. You wisely chose roads to which the Seven suited. Everyone looks happy.

And Mike S

Presumably you drove the car. You seem to have varied experience so your candid impressions would be of interest.
