Love the comments about 'even letting the wife drive it... if she smashes it up just get her to build you a new one'

Looks the business, deffo wouldn't let the wife drive it, 1 piece body after a prang equals much pain lol.

I'm sure that there are many Austin 7 enthusiasts who would weep to see that donor stripped down!

I wish I had a garage like theirs... all that space, and not a tool to be seen (apart from those 2 blokes, that is... )

An old boy turned up at the local market in one yesterday morning.
He said he'd bought it 4 months ago.
A young smart arse asked him: "Why has it got a letter box?" (It had vertical brass vents in front of the doors).
Quick as a flash he replied; "So that they can still deliver my mail when I'm out."
Me? ROFPMSL.

Did any one else notice the Tardis in the last few frames? Gets every where that Dr. Who does!

Liars. Everyone knows it costs 250 to build a decent one.

Yeah but half of that is tools and parts... By the look of that video what you do is buy the donor for £10, then rip all the bits off it, and drop a shell on (how does this take 3 months?)

According to this site, £11 in 1958 is equivalent to £190 in 2010 and £150 is £2600.

p.s. Anyone near Epping recognise the pub at the end?
