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.

High Jetter Posted April 16 Posted April 16 That is epic shiting. Hope the kids don't get pissed on the way back 🍷 lesapandre 1
wuvvum Posted April 16 Posted April 16 I was going to say isn't the Austin a bit cramped with six of you plus luggage on a journey that length, but then I suppose Morlaix to Roscoff and then Plymouth to Tavistock isn't really that long of a drive.

HMC Posted April 17 Author Posted April 17 Culture shock with going shopping in the quattroporte today. Period criticisms of the single clutch f1 shift feel misplaced, from the reference point of spending a few days dancing with my feet to deal with a crash ‘box, with 1/10th of the power, admittedly. By comparison ive just boarded a rocket ship; both equally enjoyable in their own way. IronStar, grogee, bangernomics and 20 others 23
lesapandre Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Be like HMC! (only slightly later). These two early 1930's gems are currently on the Bay of Eee. Austin - Morris rival - Both requre a modicum of tinkering and repair but both appear a very good base it looks for a viable road car. The Austin needs more work - however it has a bigger 1.7 litre six under its elegant bonnet - so will make a good driving car. Its also pre-streamlining when Austin moved away from a chrome radiator so retains a fantastic early 'traditional' appearance like HMC's car. And here is Sir Herbert himself - painted circa 1908 - I'm sure he'd approve. Dyslexic Viking, worldofceri, privatewire and 11 others 14
