NEWSLETTER August 2014 (Official Newsletter of the Austin Seven Register of Qld NEWSLETTER August 2014 (Official Newsletter of the Austin Seven Register of Qld. Inc. (formed 1967) Editorial Dear Members I find it nice to get photos of an Austin nearing completion for the newsletter after many years and much toil by a member who does not have the advantage of being to attend meetings or simply drive across town for new parts as we do in Bris-Vegas. You have seen a couple of photos just recently of Ken Burtons 1928 Chummy, but as you can see he is now getting very close to finishing. I will let Ken tell you how the car is progressing now: “I am updating you with the progress so far, the radiator is ready to go on and I have finished the wiring & upholstery, yes the beige body & black guards has been painted by me . The black wheels have been power coated, I am working on the hood, the irons have already been painted, I painted them beige, instead of the usual black. I still have to sort out 2 wheels, I do have 2 brand new rims & hubs just need a good wheelwright to fit them up, or buy 2 good ones”. Ken Burton, Rockhampton.

    WISHING ALL OUR MEMBERS AND FAMILYS A MERRY CHRISMAS AND A HAPPY AND PROPEROUS NEW YEAR NEWSLETTER December 2016 Official Newsletter of the Austin Seven Register of Qld. Inc. (formed 1967) Former Vice President Brett Wilson in his 1930 Roadster with Amanda in, taken at a Static Display not too long ago, Amanda Wilson our former Treasurer is standing behind. An Open Letter to All Members (Hi Tim I am going to ask you to put the following in the newsletter as a letter to the editor since I do not know how to thank the Austin 7 Club or the members other than by a few words of thanks. As you will read below I think the world of the club and the members as they are truly great people and keep the Austin 7 family going. Thank you - Brett Wilson) To All Austin 7 Club members, Over the last 11 years that we have been involved with the Austin Seven Register of QLD I have always said the Austin 7 Club is the best club that I have ever been in and over the last 2 years you all have shown me why that statement was true. After my ruptured disc and the 3 surgeries to fix it I had offer after offer to help with anything that we needed. I never did take up the offers as I was too proud and I did not want to put any one out in any way. Then one day I was told (not asked mind you but “told”) that the club members were coming to help tidy up around the yard and the shed and they were going to get in a skip and do everything that 1 Amanda and myself couldn’t.

  • Austin 7 Adventures
    Austin Adventures. A life with Austin Sevens and Friends. Austin Adventures. This book has been generated following a talk given to the Beaulieu Friends. The request was made by the events coordinator Mike Webster and the secretary. I was asked to give a talk about our experiences with our Austin Seven cars and our friends in the Austin movement. The talk took place on 15th February 2020 in the lecture theatre at Beaulieu on a stormy night. Joy was with me as she was very much involved in all these trips. Beaulieu requested we bring one of the cars to the event so I took the Cambridge Special to the event. It was placed in the theatre below the projection screen. There was an attendance of around ninety people in the theatre and it was said to be a successful evening. The talk took place over 2 hours with an interval at the half way point. The car created a great deal of interest. I had driven it to Beaulieu in the rain on the morning of the event. The presentation was built from our comprehensive catalogue of photographs and put together as a Power Point presentation. There was enough detail to give an idea of what was possible and the capability of these small cars. I felt it would be a good idea to create a printed record to share with family and with the help of a local provider the idea became a reality. Joy and I hope you enjoy the book which covers the period 1977 to 2019.

  • Naza VETERAN and VINTAGE MOTORING
    BEADED IIBBLS . NaZa VETERAN AND VINTAGE MOTORING JUNE •. J 9 6 7 ~ "HORSELESS CARRIAGE" In 1893 the first gasoline pow ered motorcar in the U nited Sta tes cru ised down the main streets of Springfield, Mass., at a speed of five miles an hour! This car was made by two brothers, Charles E. and J. Frank Duryea. In 1896 Henry Ford drove his first car out. of the machine shop in Detroit. Later, his system of machine-made, interchangeable parts, and assembly line production, put motorcars within the price range of the man-in-the-street, By the beginning of the 20th century, 8,000 motorcars were registered in the United States. These were powered by steam, gasoline or electricity, and even then they did not look much like the original "Horseless Carriage." Some of the law s passed in the early days of the motorcar make us chuckle today. For instance, one community ruled that if a horse refused to pass a motorcar the driver of the car must "take the machine apart .. • and conceal the parts in the grass". In some places motorcars were banned entirely, and angry farmers guarded their livestock with shotguns against these "contraptions of the devil." It is easy to see that early motorists were indeed brave pioneers, often running risks that would be hard to imagine today, for they also had to contend with the discomfort of rough roads, open driving seats and temperamental engines. T'imes. have changed and those first motoring enthusiasts would be the first to ' appreciate the advances made both in car and tyre design since the exciting, stimulating days of the "Horseless Carriage." FIRESTONE Tyres, since the earliest days of motoring, have set the standard of reliability, economy and safety.

    Austin 7 Club of S.A. Inc. CLUBROOMS: 262 Tapleys Hill Road, SEATON S.A. 5023 Bulletin Number 9 22.5.2020 What has been happening over the past month ? My boredom cure for Isolation. Take one feral car, add a moment of utter madness, and slowly add a toolbox full of spanners. Then lovingly and with a minimum of cursing start to dismember. Angle grinder and Oxy torch may at times need to be added. Do this for a whole four bloody (oops) weeks and then add paint to finish it off. It helps of course if you have been to lots of technical nights and spent up big on crank- shafts, camshafts, new pistons, etc. Etc. The next step is to lure a couple of mates to help lift the body off. I will bait the hook with a couple of bottles of wine. Hope that everyone is well. Cheers Wolf Past Events Weekend Run to the Rising Sun Hotel at Auburn 1994. When we are allowed out we should do a re-enactment. Coming Events Only one week to Winton if it had not been cancelled.
