Re: Austin A30 or 35.

I think it's hilarious, it's like a sort of fundamentalism... as my Dad quips: 'I'm not a Christian, nor an atheist, I'm a member of the Austin 7 Owners club'.

Tee hee :lol:

Re: Austin A30 or 35.

I have an A30, it was my main car for years, I used to use it in London rush hour traffic, drive it down to Cornwall, and regularly zoom up and down the A1 to visit my family. Loved it! It has many parts in common with the MM, I never had any problems getting parts, either from Bull Motif, Autofurbi...

Advice..
