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We do not publish details of coming events being organised by other Motor Clubs and organisations on this website.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.
