This weekend we planned to meet up with my uncle, who also has a Model A, to attend a rally. Sadly the weather was against us, but we'd packed period gear so it seemed a shame not to use it! Credit to the Mrs Carrs (wife and and mother), my uncle and his son, who filmed it...

Congratulations, great looking car!

Thanks all - seems there is a variety of ways to do it. I'll do some experimentation

Thanks! We did spend a long time marking up to make sure we got the position right, and we also practiced installing a RivNut on a piece of scrap metal first. Even still it was a bit tense when we drilled the first hole. Thanks for all the pictures of your bracket as well. Sent from my...

I've just installed the top saddle brackets with accompanying leather straps on my 1928 Phaeton. I'm fairly sure there's a very clever way of rolling up the straps when they aren't in use - does anyone have any pictures/description on how to do it? I've currently wrapped the straps round the...

OK so yesterday was the allotted day to fit the new rear light. In the end I decided to go down the RivNut path, and this has led to a very tidy installation that I'm pleased with. Pictures (hopefully) below. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone. It seems I have two choices. 1. Drill holes into the cross member and use blind rivet nuts 2. Make up a bracket similar to Vern's I'll keep you posted! Patrick

Hi All, I'm after a little bit of information if that's OK. I've bought a second drum tail light and bracket for my 1928 Phaeton. It's RHD so the existing light is on the right - the new light will go on the left. My question is... I'm going to have to drill three new holes on the left hand...

Hi Bob, It was on the car when I bought it. From what I've learned it was made by a guy in Australia - he made a few of them and sold them. It's not very robust and I was originally going to remove it but it was one of the features that enabled the Queensland club to recognise my car and tell...

Interesting thread resurrection! 1. No but I like the idea.... 2. I was only keeping up with the Austin! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

No specific limit but the prize giving is at 4pm. I was already on my way home by then though! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

When is that then? Does it run every year? My uncle has a Model A pickup so he might be interested. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I'm sorry you didn't like it! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Hi all, Thought you might enjoy this short film of my Model A on the London to Brighton run a couple of weeks ago. This is not the famous run (cars have to be pre-1905 for that) but one organised for classic, sports and kit cars. We were the second oldest car on the run - there was only a 1923...

Hi All, Having had my 1928 Phaeton for a year now I thought it might be interesting to look back. My wife is really good at editing film footage, so we've got a number of short films (some of which I've put on here before) that illustrate points of the journey.... Getting the bug again I...

Nothing so grand I'm afraid... My wife speeded up the film using her editing software - it would be great if a Model A went round corners like that though, wouldn't it! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Hi John, You're right, it is a Canadian built car. It actually spent all of its life in Australia though - apparently the kick guards are a big thing there. It also has a 4 blade fan with cowl, which is apparently another Australian thing. Since owning it I've been in good contact with the...

It can get interesting on the smaller roads as the steering has a bit of play so placing the car very accurately can be a challenge... Trick is to keep the speed down, be ready to stop and enjoy the view!

Your wish is my command! This is one of the pictures for the insurance, standard side view: This is at a local tourist attraction waiting to pick up my son, who was working there: This is her showing off her new trunk that my mate and I fitted just before the London to Brighton. It's quite...

Last weekend Clara (my Model A) and I did the London to Brighton run. This isn't the official one, which is in November and for veteran cars only, but another one organised for vintage, classic, sports and kit cars. It started from the Brooklands museum and finished on the sea front at Brighton...
