Gordy Hill Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 This is my 1936 Austin Nippy. My friend's mother bought it new and when I got it it had 3315 miles on it. These pictures were taken when I just got it last year, before I noticed the springs had eased to the point of uselessness. Currently it is disassembled for painting and waiting for parts from England. [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin] Quote
Fintan Murphy Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 Now that is a thing of beauty! It looks small enough to compete in the Stephensons mini-car races. You have my envy, sir. Quote
Tim Diebert Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 A rare a beautiful thing indeed! These tiny older 'mini' cars have seen a resurgence in popularity and collectability in recent years haven't they Gordy? Man, there are a lot of them too! I was reading a web site a short while ago where all the members of this club had little old wee cars. Fascinating. I think North America is heading for its time of wee cars...the days of cheap gas are going bye bye Quote
Bill Paxton Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 Didn't I see that car in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"? Quote
MikeStevenson Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 What a cute car. As I'm sure everyone knows by now, we're suckers for little cars...The Austins (Sevens, etc.) are some of our favorites. Nice job. Mike Quote
Tim Diebert Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 The Isetta is my favorite mini car. I have owned 4 Austin Minis. One was a Country Estate Wagon. 850. I have a little modified and turbo charged 3 cylinder car right now that I love...but then, that is kind of off topic now...idnt it. Quote
Guest EdWoerle Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 OK, I'm a dolt..I drive a '57 Chevy and want to know what airport you're at. My other boat(car) is a Cessna T41A. Although my Dad had a BMW Isetta, I'm a Classic nut. Ed Quote
