Topic: Austin 7


  
  CarStuff: Driving Today
The Austin 7 had a wheelbase of just 75 inches, more than two feet shorter than the Model T. Its 40-inch track was also exceedingly narrow, and at 794 pounds it weighed little less than half of a typical Ford of its era.
His "Baby Austin," as it was called, was equipped with an in-line water-cooled four cylinder with a displacement of just 747 cubic centimeters — in other words, three-quarters of a liter.
On the other hand, because the Austin 7 chassis could be had so cheaply, it very often became the subject of a new body from an outside coachbuilder.

 Austin 7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Austin 7 was a vintage car produced from 1922 through to 1939 in the United Kingdom.
Austin won them over by threatening to take the idea to their competitor Wolseley, and got permission to start on the design which was by him (chassis, suspension etc) and Stanley Edge (engine) working together from 1921 into 1922 at Austin's home, Lickey Grange.
Austin put a large amount of his own money into the design and patented many of its innovations in his own name.

 Austin Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Austin Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyer
Chapter 7 under the Bankruptcy Code is a process known as a liquidation bankruptcy because the trustee in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy can sell any non-exempt or unprotected assets and pay the money available to your creditors.
In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, most debts (with the exception of child support, alimony, certain taxes, and other non dischargeable debts) are eliminated, and the debtor generally loses only non-exempt property.
Bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code is often referred to as "liquidation bankruptcy" or a "straight bankruptcy." A Bankruptcy Court can relieve a debtor of the responsibility to pay most of his or her debts under Chapter 7 but still allow the debtor to keep much of his or her property.

 Austin Motor Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herbert Austin (1866–1941), later Sir Herbert, the former manager of the Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Company founded The Austin Motor Company in 1905, at Longbridge, which was then in Worcestershire (Longbridge became part of Birmingham in 1911 when its boundaries were expanded).
With the help of the Seven Austin weathered the worst of the depression and remained profitable through the 1930s producing a wider range of cars which were steadily updated with the introduction of all-steel bodies, Girling brakes, and synchromesh gearboxes but all the engines remained as side valve units.
The principle of a transverse engine with gearbox in the sump and driving the front wheels was carried on to larger cars with the 1100 of 1963, the 1800 of 1964, the Maxi of 1969, the Allegro of 1973 and the Metro of 1980.

 Austin Seven (7) Rally - Borvemore, Outer Hebrides
Many of the children (and adults!) gave the drivers a wave as they passed, this was reciprocated with an equally friendly wave and a beep of their horns [they sounded a bit like the car in the children's program Brum - come to think of it they looked like it too].
Although the Austin 12, one of which was at Borvemore, was a "luxury" version the Austin Seven has several advantages (the most obvious to me is that is more affordable!).
Many would assume that the Scottish Austin Seven Club would consist of "oldies" recapturing their youth but nothing could be further from the truth as I saw enthusiasts of all ages.

"There is a lot of alcohol in Austin, it's a big party town with a lot of fighting going on, probably some of the locals pushing around new people," Real World viewer Dale Price said.
Fighting and underage drinking no doubt make up a big part of the show, but city leaders hope viewers will be able to look beyond all that.
Austin's Convention and Visitor's Bureau says The Real World is giving the city more than $20 million worth of media exposure, which should help with any image concerns the show may create.
