Dave picks up Dad's project

A Shropshire man is embarking on a restoration project his late father never quite got round to starting - his 1932 Austin Seven. But Ken never did get round to restoring it. He died last October aged 81. Now his son Dave is on the case to reveal the vintage motor in all its glory.

He died last October aged 81. Now his son Dave is on the case to reveal the vintage motor in all its glory.
