I bought my 1933 four seat Austin 7 tourer in 1968 and it was my only car for the next 15 years or so eventually being replaced by a 1935 Ruby. The first visit to Sidmouth we stopped overnight half way from Southampton, it seemed such a long way. In later years the hill to the third site was special challenge. The peoor girl overheated on the way up and I topped up with the left over carry out beer from the previous nights LNE. Later in the day it boiled again and stank like a brewery. Happy days.
