Hi Rick
I have been told that car is quite rare but unsure as to how many are left.
will have to try and do a bit of research into it.
I have owned car for about 3 weeks now
cheers

Hi Bob.
A lovely car you have. I met the person who restored it some years ago. i have a photo of it with the 7W I owned at the time. I have 2 7Ws at present. They are rare and I,m not sure how many still survive. Have a look for 2 books which have details and the history of these cars 'Ford Popular & the small Sidevalves' by Dave Turner and @The history of Engish and Australian Small Fords' by Bill Ballard. |

Hi Bob

My home was flooded on 27th November and so lost all my computer equipment.
I dont know how to send photos through the forum but if you let me have your email address then I shall send the photo to you.

Kind regards.

It's rare to see one that hasn't been hot-rodded, she looks a cracking old girl |

Thanks for comment IanAl
Will definitely be keeping car standard and not hot rodding it!
I've just bought a lovely 1943 Ford gpw jeep in RAF colours to keep it company in the garage |

They certainly are rare cars, I've got a very early 2 door that I've had for best part of 20 years now. Part restored due to other projects and never finding the original 3 slot grille for her. |

Hey
In my search of spares to my 1938. I have seen a 3 slot grill on the Australien Ebay several times. You should look out there. It might be expensive in shipping. But I have only seen one in Europe for sale the last 7 years :/
Good luck. _________________ 1938 Ford 10 7W
