0 s the Hawk knows from personal experience, i great beauty comes with age. To prove my point, take a look at this 1929 Austin Seven van, lovingly restored by Ted Peckham of Pelts Wood, Kent. Ted says it's one of the first vans made by Austin: "This is basically all original but I have recently finished rebuilding the bodywork to its original specification." The vehicle is in everyday use (although very careful everyday use, restored, I imagine) and Ted even has the original log book. The van's first on-road trip was at the recent Holland rally organised by the Austin Seven Club. Readers of similar vintage to the Hawk will recall that these lovely vehicles finished production in 1939. Seems like only yesterday.
