Ep1 | We Collect the Austin 7!

As part of the Classic Car Loan Project, the PreWar Austin 7 Club are loaning me a RP Box Saloon for a year to try out vintage motoring.
In this episode, join me for the hand-over in Lincoln, where we chat to chairman David Booth, I try and get my head around timing controls, and crunch many gears - and still leave with the keys to the 88-year-old motor!
The Classic Car Loan Project is supported by Peter James Insurance.

What a wonderful project by the PWA7C. The car couldn't have gone to a nicer couple and your TH-cam and production skills will surely take your message very far! I am restoring an RP with my father and look forward to seeing you guys at the Centenary!

This is really nice - love this! I look forward to following your adventures :-)

Thanks for coming along for the ride! Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see!

That's such a great scheme from the PWA7C. As a young-ish A7 owner, I think it's great to see people who are younger than me out in these cars.
I think prewar cars are actually due for a bit of a resurgence. Even a 1970s classic is quite alien technology to someone born in the 1990s, so buying an old car is a deliberate decision to go for something different. Something that stands out. And a prewar car is a whole lot more different to the modern experience than an MGB or a Triumph Spitfire.

i'm pleased young people are being encouraged to get interested in pre war cars but it would be great if there was a scheme for us oldies to be given a similar opportunity, i'm 70 and still would love the chance to drive a pre_war, even only for a day, it might even encourage me to buy one!

Hello from a Canadian Seven owner!

[@Austin7Adventures]

Hi there 👋

[@bertiewooster3326]

Good on yer Ian !

[@uzaiyaro]

If I got an Austin 7 for a year for free I’d probably die of happiness. My dream car is an A30 and very close behind is a 7. But I might even buy a 7 first, should it happen that way.

At age 67 that`s screwed me for a lend then 🙂
