how old are Austin 7 owners

Hi. I'm 77 and restoring a 1927 chummy. Had to remake the floor pan, running boards, engine pans, front guard skirts, put new metal on bottom half of tub, wheel arches had to have 2 inches inserted as did the rear guards, new scuttle, new windscreen, new radiator surround and lots of other bits and pieces.
It is nearing completion and when it is, it will be my first drive of an Austin 7. I have a 1923 Bean 14 tourer and a 1956 MGA roadster

Re: how old are Austin 7 owners

Nearly 60 and bought my (so far) only Seven 11 years ago. I have to admit I am starting to look at Box Saloons with a bit more attention these days.

Re: how old are Austin 7 owners

I'll do my bit at keeping the averages down as well - 29 here!
