Re: 1933 RP De Luxe Saloon

Thanks Mark.

Chuffed to bits with her to be honest. She's all black at the moment but was originally two-tone blue/black.
I've seen a couple of pics of ones with blue sides & black bonnet tops with the colours following the swage lines and that seems to work for me. I will I think have the chrome vents painted so they don't catch the eye so much. We will see.

Insurance sorted this morning with RH. £59- fully comp with recovery. Can't be bad.

Thanks for everyones help to date. Much Appreciated.

Re: 1933 RP De Luxe Saloon

Here's how the DeLuxe Blue over black paintwork should look Paul...should you want to go for the original look though it should be pinstriped along the waistline swage to be really accurate.



Personally, I think they look great all black and they are quite rare all one colour these days!

I think you'll find the top of the bonnet is Blue in your case, the same colour as below the waist band, and indeed up the front window frame as well, plus the whole dashboard area. Inside the Engine compartment was black, and of course there's a fine light blue line(s) along the waistband.

See this earlier post on the Forum.

Sorry Paul, yes Algernon is quite correct, I'm not. Certainly not 'in vino veritas'; I think I had one glass too many!

Re: 1933 RP De Luxe Saloon

I now understand the original colour details and I now need to decide which direction to go with it.

In reading previous threads on this forum, I have seen much mention of "The Austin Source Book". Should I be looking to acquire one for reference purposes and is it still in print? I see Ebay has two, one @ £85- plus P&P
and the other (First Edition) @ £350-.

Any advice ?

Thanks

Re: 1933 RP De Luxe Saloon

I would suggest that Rinsey Mills book, Original Austin Seven, might be of more practical interest to you at this stage of your rebuild. You can get for about £20 from The Seven Workshop on 01225 868696.

Re: 1933 RP De Luxe Saloon

I've got a standard 33 RP and have just added another difference between it and the de-luxe apart from things like sun roof, blind and chromed lights...... mine doesn't come with a sleeping lady in the passenger seat (well not all the time anyway).
