Just seen someone on the Roadshow with a 31 saloon - dark blue/black - didn't note the number but there was a Bexhill 100 sticker in the windscreen.

Is it anyone on here?

I saw the same one. The registration was YD 3317. He said it was a barn find in Cornwall,about a year before the programme was made, and that it had been restored there and then brought to Bexhill. I can't see it on the register.

Hi
I met YD 3317 last year at Bewl Water. I was particularly interested as my car is YD 2961 and is of the same vintage. It was restored and bought as such by the present owner.He has all the pictures of its transformation. I think he is a novice owner,like myself.
It is 'as new' now with leather seats made by the a saddlemaker.

This my dad's YD,

Is that a blown RP?

See other thread superchargers DO fascinate

curious why you call it a blown RP I have been led to beleave that 1931 saloons were RM`S with the cut-away door`s I could be wrong?

Yes it is blown, (it's my dad's car that he raced reliably in the 80s.) It's a Shorrocks blower with all sorts of other modifications going on.

Sadly it wasn't an option that Austin themselves offered!

Hi , Lee is the owner and Archie is the car . See the thread in austinsevenownersclub .

But ,did anyone notice it had a later radiator ,it should have been a screw on rad cap ,it had a "twist on "

Jon, what have you been smoking?. The car with &a on the door is neither a RL nor a RM, or for that matter a RN, it is a RP. And that gray thing under the bonnet looks awfull like a blower to me.

Is 'YD' a RM or a RL?, it has the same wings as my RL, but a pressed wing cowl, and a sunshine roof

Hedd, not me that smokes, my RN smokes a bit on full choke I was refering to YD not the kit car
