What a wonderful addition to the collection Fuzz, endless hours of fun ahead with her my friend, once you've sorted the space in the hotseat sorted, I look forward to more updates mate,enjoy her.

My first thought, "What a beautiful little motor!" My second thought, "How is Fuzz going to fit in that?" 😀

Good morning mr Townsend, nice to see you giving yourself extra work 😇, only good thing about this little car is that a certain tall chap who shall remain nameless cannot get behind the wheel, I used to work for a guy who loved pre war cars and with himself being a retired engineer he restored them himself and he got a lot of joy putting these on the road again, hope you enjoy your new auto fuzz, really enjoy the car programme’s on the tele, I was fortunate to meet you when you came to carrickfergus in Northern Ireland and enjoyed the day out with all the classic cars

I'm not into pre-war cars but that little thing is absolutely gorgeous! Has the makings of being a riot every time you take it out!

Hi Fuzz, we have found that more often swapping the lower seat cushion for a lower profile one will give more room in your driving position while allowing you to keep the back cushion in place. Alex - Brewster Mudie vintage car specialists

Stunning little car Fuzz....enjoy.

Love the Beaufort... Size 10s (only), but 6'2"; and permanent spinal injury, wheelchair use. Drive with hand controls. Used an Opal Tourer from 1936, with hand controls I cobbled together; vacuum servo air tanks under the chassis, lever operated brake, clutch and throttle in centre of the steering wheel. Could get my fold up chair behind the seats..Loved it. Sadly, can't upload a photo. It was diarrhea brown of course. brush painted.

"It's Brum, from the TV series" love it 😀

I am so glad to hear that you appreciate prewar cars. Marvellous.

Hi fuzz very nice addition to the family beautiful little car . May you have many happy miles in her 👍

Well done, Ive wanted one of these for years as well, ended up with a Marlin Sportster somehow instead, budget has something to do with that. Nice to see the old saloon still on the drive, I think I jumped in that to direct you to the Soapbox at Kop Hill Climb a few years ago.

Brilliant what a lovely little Austin glad there’s people like you to keep these cars on the road for everyone to enjoy and see .. this has given me the nudge to get my 61 Cadillac Coupe Deville back in the road 👍

Funny 😁 driving down the road with just a woolly hat on !!!priceless 🤣👍

My old car! Great to see its in safe hands, I didn't have your problems though as Im 5'2" tall and size 4 shoes a female, I had great fun in the Beaufort, hope you do as well. x

Gorgeous little Noddy car fuzz enjoy

Fuss love it what a little beauty enjoy👏 🚘👍

Congratulations Fuzz! Looks great.

Used to watch the Austin 7 specials at Silverstone historic races many years ago and always loved them.

Great stuff! I also bought a new toy yesterday but it needs a complete rebuild. A Kawasaki B1, their first model bike! Let's both rebuild them and see who finishes first!

A lovely looking little car. It is great seeing some of the between wars cars and certainly Car SOS has shown some of them being restored. You certainly have a passion for classic cars. When I was a lad there was a few people in the neighbourhood who had Austin 7s and they were classics then. You just don't see enough of them these days other than at shows or museums. Keep up the fantastic work.

My first classic 20years ago was a austin 7 ruby. And i still love them, got to love a special

Very cool, so much character and class.

Can see you storming around having fun ...then...Screaming Leg Cramp!!!!!

Mr. Townsend if we were all sensible the world might be weirder than it is now. Don't stop, keep going.

I hope Fuzz will be attending the Austin centenary this July at Morton in the Marsh with his 7 Special .

Good to see you are living the dream and succesful after seasons of one of the best TV programmes available..

Lovely. Great proportions!

I love that car! I also know your problems too! My 'baby' brother is 6" 4 and a half, with size 14 shoes and he had a lot of problems. Like you and I, he likes his cars. He once had a Mini and his knees were up at each side of the steering wheel and head bent slightly forward!

I have a nephew who is a similar size to you and one of his many cars is Peugeot 172 Quadrilette. He just manages to squeeze in to it.

How cool is that car! Have fun and enjoy Fuzz. XXX

Brilliant Fuzz Get it sorted for May 22nd, Stonehurst Farm Park near Leicester Centenary Austin 7 rally

“I can get into it!”…. but can you get back out? 😂 Beautiful little car Fuzz; have fun 👍

Great little car , I miss my little ruby , have fun with it

Beautiful wee Austin fuzz health to enjoy it

Wow awesome I’d love to get my hands on an Austin 7 special. Look forward to seeing more videos.

Beautiful little car.

Excellent! Great little car.

Nice little Austin 7. Of all the pre-war cars probably the easiest to start with. Loads of parts, lots of info about, dead simple to work on and really fun to drive. I build my own A7 special but am now building a Riley 9 Brooklands which makes the Austin seem positively roomy even though it's a bigger car!

I love Fuzz’s honesty. He’s quite right of course! 😊

Absolutely wonderful car fuzz I guess any one above 5.5 would be sat in there very snugly I am 6.0 but I would definitely have a go at been squeezed in for the experience

your a big lad fuzz and when i saw the baby austin i thought this is going to be good,love the car and in my opinion younger enthusiasts should not only own a model their dad had but also one their grandad and their great grandad had.

Fuzz nice video and review shows you could front your own show💯

Hi fuzz my brother was talking to me the other day and he told me that you and him served your apprenticeship together for wm buses in brum, I was stunned by this and wondered if he was pulling my leg. His name is frank palmer.

Brilliant Wedding Car Fuzz - Keep it up.

I drove a 7 full of bridesmaids many years ago. Was fantastic, 45mph has never been so scary. Will never forget driving it.

It’s on my bucket list to rebuild a prewar car. Don’t even know how to go about getting hold of one needing full restoration.

Wonderful , it pains me to see the way the car industry has gone and is still heading as they seemed to start off well but these days seem to be incapable of making anything interesting . Absolutely lovely to see someone with the determination to keep these old classics on the road 😃

Fuzz, those cars are beautiful true classic car fan

I am with you on this one your Austin 7 is amazing. I on the other hand don’t have such a large statue but don’t have a Austin. Thank you for sharing 😉

Nice car . The easiest solution is remove the steering wheel rig up some sort of quick release system 😉

Amazing, always had love for the fuzz

Brilliant, I have always liked the specials, have you tried to get Tim in to it?

Lovely fuzz, would love one as well? And a CV8 by the looks of it too.

She looks stunning, my late Grampy had an Austin 7 Chummy =D hope to as well one day.

I think these have the Coventry Climax engine also used in the Green Goddess water pump

Just got back from Isle of Lewis where my cousin has a number of 7s including a Gordon England that easily does over 70

I had a replica Ulster back in the 60s but would never be able to fit into it now! I've never heard of a Beaufort special, but it is a gorgeous little car and ripe for an entry into some MCC trials!

I worked for the company that made them. Was before my time though. Probably 1990s. Beaufort Restoration Services in Kent run by Mike Williams, sadly no longer with us.

And i was expecting a bus! What a little beauty! (the cars not bad either).

Nice one Fuzz, 👍 cute looking car , lf yiu get fed up with it lm 5ft 8 with size 9 shoes 😉 😆

Fuzz is so different here than in Car SOS , different accent , different personality, I prefer him here as himself !

It looks a great little motor

Fuzz maybe you should get in touch with my mate Chris Allen at Bespoke Bodywork. He's made lots of Austin Seven based cars with gorgeous handmade aluminium boat tail bodies.

Stunning little beauty

So sad that Fuzz has not a single friend who could hold the camera for him. I would pay to see Tim Shaw try to get in it.

What a fantastic car. Can't you extend the seat into the small area behind the current seat back to give you extra room? It'd certainly make it more comfortable and enjoyable to drive. I'm not a fan of cars much before 1960 let alone prewar, but I'd make an exception on a 7 special, mainly due to reading John Haynes biography, which is very enjoyable and which I highly recommend. His first ever printed manual was instruction for a DIY mechanic to build their own 7 special, which if I had the funds and the ability I might attempt. Great car, just don't get caught out in the rain!!!

Wow what a beautiful lille car never seen or heard of one before absolutely love it.... ❤️.... MGBs R KOOL 👍🇬🇧

It great to see such pleasure from a small classic car. However pre-war cars are so slow.......but so are most roads.....just had first outing in 1968 classic and was followed by V8 M3 through the 30mph limit then into the 40 mph limit and then 50mph all the way to Woburn Deer Park and on way home by a Porsche Panamera.........we were all going as fast as we could / should and I am sure I was having more fun at 50mph.

Awesome buy 👍💯

What a gem!

I love 7s as well but have the same problem being 6'6 it's the tall man's curse

Yep. 6’2” of me in my MG TF is just like that.

What a great guy fuzz is I love car sos keep saving classic cars.

Man Fuzz I love these so much found bare metal lacquered special but tried getting in one but could not get legs past steering wheel was gutted

Got seasick with that camera work , Nice car.

How about showing us your Jensen 501 that's up on the lift and as also been shown in the background on your SOS program

Getting in is one thing, getting back out with any shred of dignity is quite another! Totally worth it though!!

beautiful little car

I might have some seat pads from a westfield that would fit, have to remember where i put them.

Yeah you have a problem it is the Classic " tall guy buys small car" & so getting into it is a BIG of a tight squeeze.😱

Cool car, you need a pair of race boots slim and perfect for driving

After which you realise that you left the battery charging on the bench, and have to go through the same procedure getting out/in again ... 👍 wish I'd kept mine

Love that Fuzz.

It'd better turn up at the BC Michaelmas fair 😉

Must be a 1937 reg.,or earlier,because my first car was DXA 769,a 1937 Morris Eight saloon (four doors,full red leather!)Old side valves are a doddle to work on.Up and over with the bonnet,park yourself on a seat alongside,and adjust all the valve clearances in comfort! Paid six quid for my car.Needed a new carbon ring thrust bearing for the clutch.13s 4d,old money. Did it all from INSIDE the car,in the pouring rain. Just removed the front seats,and unscrewed the floor boards,and every thing was accessible! Can’t do that in your modern cars.

Very true and great recollection.. more so as you'de need a plasma cutter or grinding disc to remove metal floors in modern cars or anything after 1955

Lovely car Fuzz, fancy trialling again one day ?

You must give Tim a ride 😄

Hi Fuzz. Smashing little car ! Looks pristine . I guess moving the deck panel back would be very difficult ? What is the law regarding wearing footwear whilst driving ? ( l don't think there is but it may be worth checking ) ENJOY ! 😁😁

Good on you!.

Maybe one of those Morgan steering wheels with the bottom quarter restyled ?

That was cool, fair play to you. Rolling history

Could you make a new smaller steering wheel with extended shaft to allow you to drive it easier ?

What a little beauty!!

Great looking car…. But must say a great looking hat as well.. Where dit you get it ??

Great purchase fuzz be good to see it at beauleigh for 100 years of austin

And you of course

I thought you was frowning on the paint. It should be going to Pebble Beach. Your going to beat it around on the old stomping grounds. Great choice, they don't like my tea anyway.

Mx5 was a very tight squeeze for me

I love Austin 7

A beautiful little car fuzz but unfortunately a rather wobbly video, how about a short extension arm and a gimbal as a wise investment for you channel? As always excellent content :-)

Very nice fuzz! I've been getting my Ruby ready for the road. Just the diff to put back in .... Maybe I'll cut the body off it ! and make a special.... naaa

Only just got in that fuzz 👌

Happy workers day fuzz

Oh that was great tiny car but oh so cute. Yes no extra portions of chips required as I think they only have 7hp as is that not where the name came from? Or is it a myth. Nice to see Fuzz without the big buffoon!
