AUSTIN SEVEN RESTORATION AND MAINTENANCE |
  |
|
Original Austin Seven -
The Restorer's Guide by
Rinsey Mills |
The Austin Seven has
such a strong following
that it
remains to this day our
most popular pre-war
car. It was also
Britain's cheapest
and most successful
pre-war car, with nearly
300,000 built. Followers
of the
Austin Seven know what a
complex family tree of
models evolved over the
years.
The information needed
to determine how a
restored car should look
is difficult
to
find, especially as the
model range is so wide,
but help is at hand in
this book.
This painstakingly
researched book aims to
reveal how these
charming cars altered
in
detail over the years.

The Austin Seven Source
Book by Bryan Purves |
|
The Austin Seven is one of the most universally appealing and
desirable small cars of all time. It was manufactured in a variety
of forms, from simple open tourers to saloons, vans, sports cars and
even racers, and left an indelible mark on the course of motoring history.
Production of this still world-famous car ceased in 1939 after 17 years,
during which time some 291,000 chassis had been made. Originally published
in 1989, and re-issued due to popular demand, this is the most complete
work of reference ever published on the marque and is essential reading
for all Austin Seven owners, restorers and enthusiasts.

The Austin Seven by
Jonathan Wood |
|
At 32 pages this is a very small book about
Austin Sevens but it packs in many facts, figures,
explanations and pictures. Much of the material is
covered by the RJ Wyatt book: Austin Seven, the motor
for the millions 1922-39 but there is new material from
an interview by the author of draughtsman Stanley Edge
who worked with Herbert Austin from the original 'sketch
on a billiard table' in 1921 and who designed its engine.
There are also some reference to more recent events than
those covered in Mr Wyatt's book. A useful little book
and well worth the money.

Men and Motors of The Austin
by Barney Sharratt |
|
Since 1905, Herbert Austin's Longbridge car factory, known locally
as "The Austin" has provided a livelihood for thousands of families
in the West Midlands. This is the story of the vehicles produced
there, and the factory itself , in the words of those intimately
involved in the styling , design, testing and building of cars. It
provides historic detail, human experience and social history, and
aims to be of great interest to motoring enthusiasts as well as
those who have worked at Longbridge under the various ownerships,
including BMC, British Leyland, Austin-Rover, BMW and Phoenix.

Making Cars at
Longbridge by Gillian
Bardsley |
For ninety-nine years, cars were made at Longbridge.
Less than a year off its century, the factory closed and
6,000 lost their jobs. The story of Longbridge is full of tragedy
and the loss of car making there has dealt a huge blow to the Midlands'
manufacturing base. The first cars to roll off the production plant
were Austins, and the site has been a centre of car manufacturing ever
since and some of the most recognised marques and models have been made
there from the original Austin 7 of the 1920s to the Mini of 1959, as
well as the Austin 1100. In later years, the factory also made Rovers
and MGs, including the SD1, Rover 75 and MGF model. Through bad management,
interfering Governments, state control and sale to BAe, then BMW,
followed by the disastrous recent management, the recent story of Longbridge
is a tragic one. But, it is easy to forget that the factory has produced
millions of motorcars, including some of the most famous designs ever made,
and that it was once an employer for tens of thousands in Birmingham.
