Many this cars was used in american army. http://www.classicheads.com/Austin_7.html http://www.a7ca.org/austin_seven_cars.htm Radek That looks like the earlier Morris 8. The census number on the door looks like M33163, if so, then it confirms it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radek Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hi Tony, it was easy. The first development of Jeep was Bantam company. His name before 1937 was American Austin co., the branch of Austin in UK. First American Austins was Austin 7. :-) I can tell, my brothers jeep trailer, Bantam, is Austin trailer. :-D and his Ford GPW is licence of Austin car. :-D :-D :-D Radek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hi Nigel, the Famous Austin associated with Jersey is the Ruby, driven by John Nettles in Bergerac. He should have bought a map because he never seemed to go anywhere by the obvious route. :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have bought a map because he never seemed to go anywhere by the obvious route. :dunno: Don't remember him driving a Ruby in the TV series, it was always a postwar Triumph Roadster. Or do you mean he personally has a Ruby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Thats an English registration. Jersey would be J follwed by numbers. Guernsey is all numbers. I don't remember one over there but with Millionaires tuppence a dozen there are a lot of classic over there. One of the best is a 1912 Chevrolet once owned by the Shah of Iran, now owned by the guy who designed the Workmate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
