- Went to a British car show this weekend and saw a 1927 (I think) Austin 7. It was the quintessential LBC! Talk about tiny and sparse...I loved it! The owner was not present, so I couldnt get more inf

- Yes they do Larry, and in a much more interesting form. Check out an American Austin and the Austin Bantam. They were manufactured in Butler, PA, from 1930 to 1940. Production included coupes, roadst

- Geeez! You've already got 5 LBCs that you aren't keeping on the road. You want a 6th? Get at least one of the other 5 going and we'll think about hunting down another for you! ;-) Chris K. /// /// (

- For those of you with children, there is an excellent book by Roald Dahl called "Danny, Champion of The World" that features an Austin 7 as a prominent story element. I read it as an impressionable "

- I've had one on my theoretical "shopping list" forever. I don't have my books here, but they had a long production run. One of those LBCs that started out technologically current and then kept being

- A friend of mine bought two. One was such a mess, he got badly screwed. It was a Dixi, and one of the first as made in Germany under license. The second is a 1927 model he's had done with a fresh bod

- Larry - I saw an Austin 7 (1930s) for-sale on eBay within the past week, may still be there. Don't remember asking price, but don't think it was too high - but then I know nothing about them. Cheers

- One of these used to show up at the Palo Alto All British meet. It was a pristine example as I recall. I think I have a photo of it somewhere, but I don't remember seeing it the last year or two. Ger

- Every spring there is a meet at the Bryn Garw Country Park (Trust me, I've done a spell check on this), just up the valley from us. Looks like a toy car collectors convention. All these 60+ year old
