Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

I thought it might be interesting to try and find out the average age of owners who drive Sevens.

For the record, I'm 63

Re: Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

I'm almost 60 - been driving a 7 (RN) since 1962 - then around a farm - until I was old enough to get it back on the road. It was my first car - will probably be my final one, but not for a long time yet I hope !( have a modern as well)

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

I'm 61 and still have my first car, an RN bought in 1962, regards Dave

Re: Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

I am 62 and have owned A7s since 1962. Current cars are 29 Fabric Saloon owned for 37 years and 28 Chummy owned for 31 years. 'Tempus Fugit'

Re: Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

Average age so far is 52.

Keep sending them in please - This should be most interesting. Thanks.

George

Re: Re: Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

So given that I'll be 55 this coming Saturday, I'm not far off average then

I am 39 and my wife is 38, I drive an 1930 Ulster and my wife drives a 1928 Chummy. We are fairly new to the Austin Seven world and are on our 2nd Crank. To bring the average age down we are expecting a new Austineer in June.

Well, I am 42, 43 at the end of March, my boyfriend is already 43, but he's hoping I will not get my 1934 Ruby back on the road so he does not have to ride in her (BTW she's called Lulu.

Gary

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

My better half is a year yonger than me ( must not let on her age ! ) I am a very youthful 60.

It is interesting how many forum members admit to being in their 60's

Many a good tune is played on an old fiddle !

Re: Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

Age 54, been driving an Austin Seven since I was 32

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

Malcolm, what do you mean ADMIT to being 60+. I always thought that age = wisdom. Incidentally, now that we know the age of some of our regular contributors, do we take their pronouncements more or less seriously? Where are our antipodean(?) bretheren, not a whisker so far?
Cheers, Dave

Re: Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

Dorothy has just turned 60 and proud of it and drives her RP saloon regularly at home and abroad, I am just the riding mechanic at a youthful 58.
What's this Malcolm about an old fiddle, I thought you were into dulcimers!!
Brian and Dorothy

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

I'm 61 and trying to retire so I can spend more time with my sevens. First seven in 1964 Total of 5 7s owned,
currently 2 RPs, one owned for 22 years. Anyone else at the third Beaulieu rally?

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

63 - Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the heck happened.

Barry R.

Re: Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

59 have owned 28 sevens since I was 16

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

57 - just. Only had the one Austin Seven and will keep it until I move on to the great autojumble in the sky.

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

A staggering 54 (hard to believe as I type it) Still have my first car (1933 RP Saloon) bought in 1970, a 37 Cabriolet (acquired some 6 or 7 years ago) and a recent 'project' that is keeping me entertained this year!!

Re: Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

I'll be 120 years old by the time I finish my current Austin 7 projects. Meantime I'm almost 74 going on 40 and my new wife has just turned 44 (truthfully). Now you know why the above-mentioned projects are slow-moving. Cheers, Bill in Oz

Re: Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

55, but because I am upside down down under I am really only - oh bugger, 55!

DG

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

Right ! The results so far !

George.

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

33 - now own an Ulster (replica sadly) but have been driving dad's* Austin's since about age 3 in his knee...

*Graham Harris

And yes my name really is Austin.

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

A lady never reveals her age. I will always be sweet 17!

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

Rob

Re: Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

I'm 68 but don't tell anybody! How the years fly by. Got my provisional licence for my 17th birthday for lessons in the family Big 7. Have driven Sevens ever since. Present RP bought in 1968 for £33.

Re: Re: Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

Hi All

I am coming up 63 and had my first 7 in 1962.
Still as silly as I was in 1962 but can now afford decent 7s.

Cheers
Gordon

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

53 - Nice patina, no rust, some parts slightly more worn than others, but all intact and working perfectly. And my A7's are in pretty good shape too...

Nick

Re: Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?

54 as of yesterday. No gifts, please.

Firing on all cylinders, spare tire no problem, starter shaft slightly bent.

Re: Austin 7 owners - What age are you?
