Any reference to the 'Club' below shall mean the Cornwall Austin
Seven Club.
The use of the term 'We' shall mean the Club, its officers and
individual members.
The Club's interest is solely in pre-war Austin Sevens built between
1923 and 1939 and Specials which are based on an Austin Seven chassis
and engine.

Purpose of this website
The primary aim of this website is to promote the Club within Cornwall
and interest in the pre-war 'Austin Seven'.
It also provides our members, and all Austin Seven enthusiasts,
particularly newcomers, with a library of 'Technical
Articles', and 'Quick
Tips', drawn from articles written by our members and previously published in the Club magazine
'Seven Focus'; a 'Guide
to Parts and Services' (see below)
listing sources for spares, specialist services and other related
matters. The section 'Magazine
Articles has
a selection of articles not specific to Austin Sevens found in pre- and
post-war Motoring Magazines which will enhance the reader's knowledge of
a topic.
'Other Articles' related to our enjoyment of Austin Sevens are also
published.
The website is supplementary to, and complements, 'Seven Focus', and
does not replace our monthly magazine.
Events Diary
Only brief details of future Club events are published. Full details of
the meeting place, time and any lunch arrangements, are given in 'Seven
Focus' at least two months prior to the event date.
Events of other Clubs and
organisations
We do not publish details of coming events being organised by other
Motor Clubs and organisations on this website. If our members are to be
invited to attend an event the details should be submitted to the
Editor of 'Seven Focus';
whose decision it will be as to whether, or not, to include the details
in a forthcoming edition of the Club magazine.
Event Reports
Only events organised by the Club are reported. Summary reports of
events during the past month will be published 7 to 10 days after
appearing in 'Seven Focus'. These reports will be on the website for a
maximum of four months.
Technical Advice
Many of the 'problems' experienced by Austin Seven owners
throughout the world, whilst maintaining and repairing their Sevens, are
covered in the articles written by our
members in
Technical Articles; also in general articles from past magazines, which are relevant to Austin Sevens, can be found in
Austin Seven Journal and
Magazine Articles. Also see Quick Tips and
our
Guide to Parts and
Services which will help you to source parts and services available in, or
from, the UK.
Feel free to contact us, via the temporary website editor, with any questions arising from these articles or your work on your Austin Seven. Our members are only able to answer questions relating to the Austin Seven (1922-1939) and may not be able to answer any questions arising from some articles from past magazines as they may have developed their own method of undertaking the work. Also many topics have been discussed on the forum Austin Seven Friends
If you are in the UK and are invited to telephone our member that is because he feels that it would be better to discuss your problem, and perhaps refer to other issues which you have possibly overlooked, rather than answer by e-mail. It is your responsibility to make the call as our members do not wish to spend time 'chasing' you and leaving messages on answerphones only for there to be no reply. They do not wish to call mobile phone numbers due to the higher cost of calls.
Please note:
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the
accuracy of the technical advice, and information, it is given
in good faith and the Club, its officers and
the author(s) accept no liability for loss, damage or injury from persons acting
upon the advice given in this publication and from any subsequent answers to
questions asked of our members. Anyone following the advice given by this
publication, or answers subsequently provided, shall be deemed to have accepted
this statement.
We cannot offer a 24/7 'Help-line' and there may be a delay in answering your question after the webmaster has passed it on as our members do have other commitments.
Whilst we are pleased to give our time to
answer questions, it sometimes involves a lot of effort to prepare the
information specific to your question.
The person
responding would be pleased to receive your
acknowledgment for the reply and feedback as to whether the advice
offered to you did meet your needs, or any further questions that might
subsequently arise. Whatever - a 'thank you' would be very
appreciated.
Reproduction of articles first
published by other Clubs
It is accepted practice that the Editors of Austin Seven Club magazines
reproduce, with proper acknowledgements, articles from other Austin
Seven Club's magazines. We do not reproduce articles from other
Austin Seven Clubs on this
website after they have appeared in 'Seven Focus' as doing so would
contravene the copyright of the original author and Club under the
Copyright, Designs & Patents Act 1988.
Reproduction of articles from
this website
Anyone wishing to reproduce an article from this website in their Austin
Seven Club's magazine may do so provided that the usual acknowledgement
of the source of the article, being the Cornwall Austin Seven Club
website, and the named author is cited, and accept that the copyright,
within the meaning of the Copyright, Designs & Patents Act 1988, remains
with this Club and the original author. If you do wish to
reproduce an article please inform the webmaster so that we know who has
shown interest. Reproduction for commercial purposes, digital
storage and publication in any other format or website is strictly
forbidden.
Recommendations and
Endorsements
We do not recommend any company, nor endorse any products or services.
The companies listed in our
'Guide to Parts and Services' are those from which our members have
enjoyed good service and feel that other members, and Austin Seven
enthusiasts, might like to be aware of their satisfaction. Persons
subsequently making a purchase are responsible for their own decision.
Cornwall Austin Seven Club is not responsible
for the content of external websites.
The information given in the
'Guide to Parts and Services' is as up to date as possible and the
webmaster cannot be held responsible for recent changes, inadvertent
errors or omissions. However, an update, modification or correction
will be made to an entry as quickly as possible after the
webmaster receives any
new information.
The mention of a product, or service, in any article published on this
website is for the benefit of factual correctness; and does not imply
any endorsement nor indicate that that product is the only one
available, or that the company which supplied it is the only one able to
do so. It should be accepted that it was the choice made by the author
of the article at the time the work was undertaken.
Manufacture and supply of
goods etc.
The Club does not manufacture or supply any Austin Seven related
goods or services listed in the
'Guide to Parts & Services'.
Purchase of Goods and
Services.
Please note that CA7C does not purchase goods and services, for and on
behalf of members, from
any Company in the UK or Worldwide. All spam emails are ignored.
Advertising
We do not wish to display advertising for any company, whether directly
concerned with Austin Seven spares, services or ancillary products; nor
will we agree to carry sponsored articles from any source, or company,
on this website.
Items For Sale
We do not publish any advertisements for our Club members, or any other
Austin Seven enthusiasts, wishing to sell their Austin Seven, spares or
anything else, on this website.
Links
The links listed in the
Links Section are to other Clubs and organisations with a specific,
or strong interest, in pre-war Austin Sevens. We do not wish to form a
link with any Motor Club, company or other organisation, which does not
have that same interest.
Similarly we do not want any other Motor Club, company or organisation,
to create a link from their website to this website unless they share
the same strong interest in pre-war Austin Sevens and have discussed the
possibility of a link with our webmaster.
Other questions
If your question is not covered by the above statements, please ask as
we are not inflexible. However, we are contacted by many companies and
organisations whose products, services or interests, are neither related
to Austin Sevens, nor of any interest to our Club and its members;
therefore, such communications are usually ignored.
