Very nice. I bet you will have much fun with it.

I myself have often looked at Ford Model A offers on the Internet. Let's see, maybe someday ...

One of my favourites Ian and with the rad cap mounted temp gauge  On the M3W tour of North Yorkshire we had a Chummy tag along. It always arrived first at each location although it did set off in advance. Only issues were regular magneto changes (they carried two spares) as it was a 1927 model with headlamps by windscreen. Enjoy

I will be VERY interested how you get on with the 7. I too have looked many times at buying one just for the sheer fun of owning something that simple that has the potential for giving so much joy. I wish you much happiness to come.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

That is a wee cracker as they say in the local vernacular.. (-: It fair pulls at my heart strings, but in terms of practicality I fear it would live in my life as a garage ornament, and even more rarely driven than my Morgan these days...

Rory rebuilt the engine in our RN Box, with a Phoenix crank it would of been £3k. The Phoenix crank is evidently unbreakable….
I’m am sure it will provide a lot of fun, they are very simple cars and easy to work on. However I think I’m needing a diff rebuild, it’s the only thing that hasn’t been rebuilt as it’s making horrendous noises..
