Austin Seven? By the visible plates I'd say, it's a British junkyard. In Germany this scene, a junkyard with only this amount of cars of the 30ies, was impossible. During the war, the most cars had been confiscated (except very old ones, Threewheelers and cars with two-stroke-engine) and were destroyed, mainly in the East ("East" means in 1943 Stalingrad and in April/May 1945 Berlin, so very relatively to see). After the war, the few suvived cars had hardly to work, often converted as small trucks until they'd been totally worn out and/or the owner had again so much money to buy a new one. |

Yes, it's a 1936 Austin Seven Ruby. And yes, it is a British junkyard: I also see amongst others another Ruby, a Morris Eight Ser.I, a Vauxhall (size unknown), a 1937 Hillman Minx ... but you don't want to know all that, do you? .gif ";)") |

No way. My knowledge about British cars is weak, especially from the beginning until the lates 60ies. How should I know it? As I wrote before, the absolute majority of all ever made British cars (of times, when there had been an independent British car-industry) was always unknown in Germany. Not only the models, even the brands were mostly never sold over here (or sold in remarkable counts). In all neighbour-countries of Germany, like Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, also the other Scandinavian countries, even Greece or Turkey, there had been uncountable more British cars in traffic than over here. As a child on our familiy-vacations in the 70ies and 80ies, I'd seen in Denmark, for example -for me unknown- more British cars, vans and truck than at home in 5 years! -- Last edit: 2008-11-19 21:30:19 |

P.S. If I write something over here about British cars, it's only based on knowledge I got by reading German classic-car-magazines during the last 22 years or finally by IMCDB itself. P.S.I own car-magazine (actual for classic cars, or old ones of the 70ies) from a plenty of other countries, too - but (as to be expected) only, if something of "my" car is included. .gif ":)") -- Last edit: 2008-11-19 21:28:37 |
