Beautiful car
If only Haynes did a manual for building one, or any kind of single seater...one can but dream

All the front would be easy to replicate as the bends are all in a single plane, behind the driver is a bit more tricky.

OOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!! What a beauty.

My Austin 7 probably isn't quite as desireable but I like it! (Sorry about the picture quality).

But they do (did):

John Haynes OBE wrote and published his first book, on building an Austin 7 Special, whilst he was still at school in 1956.
He wrote two more 'Special' builders' manuals while doing his National Service in the RAF.
