Years ago there was a racing team and nation-wide seller of saloon-car racing mods in Abbey Road. They raced later version of Austin 7 - the A35. Main driver was a local doctor known as Doc Shepherd, it was great to see these A35s carve up all the big Jags, Fords and American cars at Silverstone. I think the site is now the lock-ups half-way up from the river but not much to make a tag from. Get up that double helix RV and lets get things moving.

This was obviously too easy,
Ray Walkers old garage on Perowne street. Ray Walker was a great mechanic specialising on Austin7's . My dad used to take me and brother down there when we were kids and we'd spend hours hanging about whilst
they pissed about with old motors. He died about 18 years ago. Sad to see his yard all derelict now.
