Nice job!
I especially like to see before and after shots, come to think of it I like to see everything in between pics as well. |

Hi The chassis number indicates it was built in November 1932. The original registration book states 19th July 1933 |

Purchased on Ebay in July 2005. I started restoration in Oct 2006. It had to be ready for my daughters wedding inJune 2007. As the photo shows it was ready. |

when I've cleared the decks with some other outstanding work, I'd like to make some moves with my 10/4, although I think mine will be more of a re-commissioning job, rather than major stripdown (at least thats the theory...)
You're in good company here, pigtin has a 10/4 too.

Mine is a cabriolet, 2 door with the 3 position hood and pram irons at the back, sold I think at the same time as your tourer. I'm not in any of the Austin clubs at the mo, I might join sometime. Are you in the A10 Drivers Club???

After sending last message I found your car on the your cars section, not too good with these forums but am learning. Yes I am in ATDC I have found it very good for spares and easy to obtain technical advise. I attended the national show at Wincanton last year on the Friday, not with my 10 as it was a bit far. Everyone was very friendly and I hope to go to future nationals. The spares store visits certain shows and jumbles during the year. The mag is sent each month and is usefull for tec info and show details

That is Beautiful, well done!
I bet there's plenty of 'Smiles-per-Mile' driving it or maybe 'Her' |
