- 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. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
What a wonderful project by the PWA7C. The car couldn't have gone to a nicer couple and your CZcams 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!
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.
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!
Welcome to the world of the Austin Seven. Life will never be the same again!
Thank you!
Love the initiative and the video!! Regards from Spain
Thanks very much!!
The intro. Hahaha. This is brilliant Liam xxx
Cheers me dear!
Got two Austin Seven out here in Tokyo and love them. Subscribed and looking forward to more videos
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!
You'll soon get the hang of the gearchange Liam - practice makes perfect. Happy Motoring!
Thanks, I hope so!
Brilliant video mate 👍🏻
Cheers Eddie!
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.
Hello from a Canadian Seven owner!
