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.

    Quinton Motor Club Ltd Forewo rd This publication is the result of over two years of investigative research and subsequent communication with many past members of Quinton Motor Club. No formal record of the Club ’s history or its activities existed before this task was under taken. I would particularly like to acknowledge the involvement of the following: Mike & Hilary Stratton , who were the driving force behind the w hole project and have spent countless hours in research and communication with past members , far and wide, a s well as many long journeys from their home in Devon to meet with the rest of us in the Midlands. The other members of the organising committee for the fiftieth anniversary celebrations for their hospitality at meetings, contribution of ideas, research fo r memorabilia , general good humour and enthusiasm that this milestone should be fittingly celebrated (in alphabetical order): Ray Barlow, Susan Butcher, Mike Harris, Nick Jones & Graham Towns hend. This publication has only been made possible by people tur ning out cupboards, garages and lofts to unearth long forgotten gems regarding the Club and its history. Foremost in this is Mike Adams, who has been the major source of information in that he has not thrown ANYTHING away sinc e he joined the Club in the mi d -1970s. Three big cardboard boxes arrived at my house one day in the early Spring of 2008, Ginny was not hap py when they were returned just over a year later, she thought she had seen the last of them..!! Others, not on the organising committee, that h ave unearthed memorabilia are (in alphabetical order): Peter Bayliss, John Davi s, Steve Eagle, Peter Gray , Neil Henderson and finally Dave Bullock who attended the first meeting of the Club and whose recollections of the early years has enabled me to piece together the scant infor mation that still exists from fifty years ago..!! We all hope you enjoy this publication and that its contents makes you smile and brings back happy memories of your time in Quinton Motor Club .
