Im still awaiting more bits of history from the estate of the deceased former owner. Ive had a few pics, which show it passed the “patina” stage some years ago, and went right through the other side, hence the need for a complete restoration that it received…

 

 

Im assuming the hole in the roof is responsible for the entire interior being new!

Gigantic wine glass there - probably holds half a bottle - as in "have you had much to drink - na only a couple of glasses" 🥂

And Happy Birthday 🎂 @eddyramrod too 🎉

Your lad's doing better than me - oysters are just about the one thing I simply cannot eat.

Thanks! It was, although this time we stayed in a nearby town.

We set off back with wine in the trunk and a brittany flag flapping around at the back

Great little trip, kids enjoyed it and the Austin was solid and reliable, just as it was designed to be at launch in 1921.
